  <p>Refer to the online documentation for more information: Installation Guide"</p>
  
  <p>It's a fresh installation of Drupal, and only has the initial admin user - there's nothing unchecked in the Drupal permissions for administrators (but obviously it doesn't have anything related to CiviCRM as the module isn't enabled). </p>

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-04-24)
  
  Just been trying to install CiviCRM 5.0.1 in Drupal 7.58, and when I try to run the install script, I get a message saying I don't have permission to do so:
  
  "You don't have permission to access this page
  The installer can only be run by a user with the permission to administer site configuration.
  
  Refer to the online documentation for more information: Installation Guide"
  
  It's a fresh installation of Drupal, and only has the initial admin user - there's nothing unchecked in the Drupal permissions for administrators (but obviously it doesn't have anything related to CiviCRM as the module isn't enabled).
