A Beginner’s Guide to Installing and Configuring Magento Extensions

Magento is a powerful e-commerce platform that offers a wide range of features and functionality to help businesses create and manage their online stores. One of the best ways to enhance the capabilities of your Magento store is through the use of extensions.

Extensions are third-party add-ons that can be installed on your Magento site to provide additional functionality, such as integrating with other systems, adding new features, or improving performance. But for beginners, the process of installing and configuring extensions can be daunting.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process step-by-step to help you get the most out of your Magento extensions.

Installing Magento extension using Composer

Make sure you have Composer installed on your system. If you don’t, you can download it from https://getcomposer.org/download/.

  1. In the command line, navigate to the root directory of your Magento installation.

  2. Run the command composer require <vendor>/<module>, where is the name of the extension vendor and is the name of the extension. For example, if the extension is called "Google Tag Manager" and the vendor is "MagePal", the command would be ```composer require magepal/magento2-google-tag-manager```.

  3. After running the command, Composer will install the extension and its dependencies.

  4. Run the command php bin/magento setup:upgrade to upgrade the Magento setup.

  5. Run the command php bin/magento setup:di:compile to compile the dependency injection configuration.

  6. Run the command php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy to deploy the static content.

  7. Clear the cache by running the command php bin/magento cache:clean.

  8. Log in to the Magento admin panel, navigate to “System” > “Web Setup Wizard” > “Module Manager” and verify that the extension is listed and enabled.

Keep in mind that, depending on the extension and your system configuration, additional steps may be required to complete the installation. Be sure to check the extension’s documentation for specific instructions.

How to Manually install a Magento Extension / Adobe Commerce

  3. Run the following command via command line interface in your Magento install dir:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

  1. Run the following command

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

  1. Log in to the Magento backend, go to System > Cache Management, and flush the cache.

  2. Go to Stores > Configuration > Advanced > Advanced, and make sure the extension is enabled.

Please note that these steps may vary depending on the extension and your specific environment, so it’s always best to consult the extension’s documentation for specific instructions.

In conclusion, Installing and configuring Magento extensions can be intimidating for beginners, but it’s not as difficult as it seems. This guide has walked you through the process step-by-step, so you can easily install and configure your Magento extensions and make the most out of your online store’s functionality.
