On contrary to deeper heuristic (read: guessing) we perform in the Plugins directory (such as looking at the names of the language files), here we simply rely on the plugin component being correctly defined in the version.php file. The validator class has more robust processing, to make sure the component declaration is not provided in a commented area of the version.php etc. However, as it is fully acceptable that the auto-detection fails if the version.php uses non-standard syntax, this easier approach is valid here.
QUICK INSTALL ============= For the impatient, here is a basic outline of the installation process, which normally takes me only a few minutes: 1) Move the Moodle files into your web directory. 2) Create a single database for Moodle to store all its tables in (or choose an existing database). 3) Visit your Moodle site with a browser, you should be taken to the install.php script, which will lead you through creating a config.php file and then setting up Moodle, creating an admin account etc. 4) Set up a cron task to call the file admin/cron.php every five minutes or so.
