Remove existing module from the contrib folder

It is recommended that you place your site in maintenance mode temporarily before replacing any modules with the HeroDevs NES version.

It is recommended that you use version control such as Git and test all changes in a development environment before making changes to your production site.

rm -rf /path/to/site/sites/all/modules/contrib/<module-name>

Unzip and move to correct folder

From the folder you downloaded the tarball to run:

unzip <module-name>.zip -d /path/to/site/sites/all/modules/contrib/<module-name>

Verify that the module has been uncompressed in the correct location.

Cleanup

Remove the downloaded zip file from your root directory.

Clear caches with:

drush cc all
