Is there a way to install multiple modules at one from a local machine?
I've seen quickupdate but that is not from a local install, and relied on FTP which I cannot use.

You can just put them in one zip file, and upload using Drupal UI just as if they were one. Drupal will store them together, in subdirectories just as you packed them. That's all, never been a problem for me.
Perfect example is, well, Examples project: http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/examples-7.x-1.x-dev.zip one zip, many functionally unrelated modules.

I had no idea drupal would 'understand' having several modules in a single zip. Amazing. Thanks. Commented Dec 19, 2014 at 9:11

@Pureferret That's how modules with "submodules" always worked. But there was no technological reason to force modules in one zip to be related. So they didn't. Simple as that :)– MołotCommented Dec 19, 2014 at 9:13

I have hit a snag in that drupal is expecting a .info file. Do I need to put all the modules together into one root folder with several .info files, or do I need to manually create one? Commented Dec 19, 2014 at 11:15

@Pureferret See the example zip I linked and just emulate what they did there.– MołotCommented Dec 19, 2014 at 11:20

I created a .info file but it didn't work, I had to untar all the files too. Now I have something that looks similar to the examples zip. I tried to install and it only installed the (alphabetically) first modules. Do I need a *.index.php files to link them all together? Commented Dec 19, 2014 at 11:38
This can be done quite simply.
- Unzip and untar all the modules.
- Copy them all into
apps\drupal\htdocs\sites\all\modules. - Enable them on the modules page.
Use Drush.
drush dl x y z
drush en x y z

Or just drush en x y z, drush will take care of the download.– ckosloffCommented Jul 24, 2015 at 13:47
