4. 1. Installation
Disclaimer: We recommend to install any module you purchase/download in a testing environment before
deploying it to your production environment. Please also backup your Magento installation (files and database)
before installing any module and make sure no conflicting extensions are installed. All our modules are tested in
clean Magento installations without third party extensions and we can't guarantee for compatibility with third party
extensions.
The installation is done in the following 5 easy steps:
1.1 - Disable compilation
If you have compilation enabled in your Magento store please disable it before installing the extension. You can
check compilation state in System > Tools > Compilation, see “Compiler Status”. If Compiler Status is set to enable,
please disable it with the button on the top right. If you don't do so there's a good chance you'll temporarily break
your Magento installation. After step 1.4 you can run the compilation process again if it was set to enabled.
1.2 - Upload module
Extract the extentions ZIP-file (using Winzip, WinRar, etc) and upload the app and skin folder to the root directory of
the Magento installation. (You should not upload any other present folders within the supplied zip file, only these
three directories)
All folders should match the existing folder structure. If one of our extensions is already installed and you're
updating it, make sure to overwrite the existing files of the extension.
Warning for Mac OS users: If you are installing the extension in a local environment or you are using Transmit, make
sure to use *merge* and not to *replace* the existing folders contents, as otherwise your app and skin folder will be
gone.
