Installing the Magento® 2 Extension using Composer

Add the Plugin Company Composer Repository

Edit the composer.json file in the Magento® 2 root folder, and add the following to the repositories section:

{
   "type": "composer",
   "url": "https://plugin.company/"
}

The resulting section will look something like this after doing so:

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "composer",
        "url": "https://plugin.company/"
    },
    {
        "type": "composer",
        "url": "https://repo.magento.com/"
    }
]

Important: Make sure the plugin.company repository is listed above the default repo.magento.com repository
If the plugin.company repository isn’t listed first, composer will first check the Magento® repo for available packages and dependencies, resulting in the possible installation of outdated versions of these packages.

Install the Extension using Composer

Execute the following command to install the extension:

composer require plugincompany/couponimport

When prompted for a username and password, fill in the credentials from your Plugin Company Repository Account.

php bin/magento module:enable PluginCompany_LicenseManager

After enabling the license manager, enable the extension using the following command:

php bin/magento module:enable PluginCompany_CouponImport

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
