Make sure you've gone through the Pre-install_Checklist before starting!

Copying the files

  1. Unzip your extension package.
  2. Inside that package you'll see Step_1, open that folder inside your FTP app.
  3. Locate your website's Magento app folder using an FTP app. You should now have the contents of Step_1 on one side, and your main website folder (containing the Magento app folder) on the other side.ftp install magento extensions.png
  4. Drag the folders from inside Step_1 into your remote site (the important thing here is not to drag on top of another folder, or the files will be placed in the wrong location - easiest is to drag onto a file or blank space on the remote side).magento install drag n drop.png
  5. You may be asked Merge or Replace? by your FTP app. Choose Merge for folders and Replace for files.
  6. When that has completed, open Step_2 in your unzipped extension folder.
  7. Using the same procedure, copy the contents of Step_2 into the same location in your Magento installation.

Clear the cache

  1. Go to the System > Cache settings, and clear all caches (click Flush Magento Cache and Flush Cache Storage).
  2. Log out then Log in.
  3. Head to System > Permissions > Roles.
  4. Check that you have assigned the new Moogento Extension options to the appropriate roles, and save.
  5. Head to System > Permissions > Users.
  6. Check that you have assigned the new Moogeto Extension options to the appropriate users, and save.
  7. Navigate to System > Configuration and then to the specific config page for your new Moogento Extension.
  8. At the top, if this extension requires a license key, enter your license key (this will have been emailed to you; you can also find it inside your Moogento account downloads section).
  9. Save this page.
  10. Check that it works at a basic level; this is also a good time to check your public store front. I would also make a test order at this stage.
  11. If everything is ok and you have previously disabled compilation, now you can enable it.

You should now be setup at a basic level.

If you have any issues, check the Troubleshooting guide.
