Make sure you've gone through the Pre-install_Checklist before starting!
Copying the files
- Unzip your extension package.
- Inside that package you'll see
Step1, go inside that folder inside your FTP app. - Locate your website's Magento /app folder using an FTP app. You should now have the contents of
Step1on one side, and your main website folder (containing the Magento app folder) on the other side - Drag the folders from inside
Step1into some blank space inside 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!) - You may be asked Merge or Replace by your FTP app. Choose Merge for folders and Replace for files.
- When that has completed, navigate to
Step2in your downloaded package. - Using the same procedure, copy the contents of Step2 into the same location in your Magento installation.
Clear the cache
- Go to the System > Cache settings, and clear all caches (click Flush Magento Cache and Flush Cache Storage).
- Log out.
- Log in.
- Navigate to System > Permissions > Roles
- Check that you have assigned the new Moogeto Extension options to the appropriate roles, and save
- Navigate to System > Permissions > Users
- Check that you have assigned the new Moogeto Extension options to the appropriate users, and save
- Navigate to System > Configuration and then to the specific config page for your new Moogento Extension.
- 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).
- Save this page.
- 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.
- 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.
