Installing the Magento® 2 Extension

Log in to your Plugin Company account and download the extension’s installation package to your local computer. We recommend to install the most recent extension version available.

Extract the installation package locally to any folder. The extracted archive should contain an upload_contents folder (the installation files), a license agreement and the extension’s installation guide and user manual.
