hook_install()
developer/hooks/install.php, line 199
Description
Install the current version of the database schema, and any other setup tasks.
The hook will be called the first time a module is installed, and the module's schema version will be set to the module's greatest numbered update hook. Because of this, anytime a hook_update_N() is added to the module, this function needs to be updated to reflect the current version of the database schema.
See the Schema API documentation at http://drupal.org/node/146843 for details on hook_schema, where a database tables are defined.
Note that since this function is called from a full bootstrap, all functions (including those in modules enabled by the current page request) are available when this hook is called. Use cases could be displaying a user message, or calling a module function necessary for initial setup, etc.
