Installation of CiviCRM
CiviCRM is a web-based, open source, internationalized suite of computer software for constituency relationship management, that falls under the broad rubric of customer relationship management. -Wiki
CiviCRM database
We create a separate database to CiviCRM
Then we create an user civicrm that will be use by CiviCRM to access its database
Then we grant the user civicrm full access to the civicrm_db
As we plan to use the Drupal Views module to display CiviCRM data within your Drupal pages, we have to give SELECT permissions to Drupal database user on CiviCRM database
CiviCRM installation
To install CiviCRM, we follow intructions on https://docs.civicrm.org/sysadmin/en/latest/install/drupal7/ First we download CiviCRM from https://civicrm.org/download
Then we run the Installer with the URL https://task.woezzon.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/index.php . The Installer shows that one requirement was not fulfill. The folder /var/www/drupal/sites/default was not writable to www-data so we change the permission by giving ownership of default folder to www-data
After this, all requirement are green.
We set CiviCRM and Drupal databases settings for the Installer
CiviCRM Database Settings
Drupal Database Settings
As we are ready to install, we click on "Check requirements and install CiviCRM"
After this step, everything is sucessfully installed and our CiviCRM is available throught the drupal website https://task.woezzon.com or with the link https://task.woezzon.com/?q=civicrm/dashboard

We put CiviCRM extension directory to /var/www/drupal/sites/default/files/civicrm/ext outside of the $civicrm_home directory as suggested here https://docs.civicrm.org/sysadmin/en/latest/customize/extensions/
