How To Install New Modules And Extensions In Magento 1.x?

The process of using Magento Connect to install extra modules and extensions for Magento. Please refer to the following steps:

• Login to the Magento admin area.
• Go to System > Magento Connect > Magento Connect Manager.
• A new page will be displayed for Magento Connect Manager and you will have to enter your admin login credentials again.
• After this, you will see two settings: Extensions and Settings. Preferably, you must check the options in the ‘Settings’ tab first.
• In the ‘Settings’ tab there are many options that you can configure if you know about those options; otherwise you must leave them as they are.

It is extremely important to create a backup of your website before downloading the extensions and before upgrading the extensions. If any issue occurs after some extension is downloaded or installed, you can revert the changes through the backup.

• After creating the backup, go to Magento Connect Manager > Extensions and click on the link to Magento Connect.
• This will display a new Window that will enable you to browse Magento Extensions.
• Once you have selected the extension that you wish to download, click on its name and then click on the ‘Add to Cart’ option.
• Once you have completed the checkout process, click on the ‘Install;’ button.
• A new tab will open in your browser where an ‘Access Key’ will be provided for your extension.
• Copy that key and then head back to your Magento admin area > System > Magento Connect.
• Paste the key in the ‘Paste extension key to install’ section.
• Click on the ‘Install’ option and then click on ‘Proceed’.

The extension will be downloaded and installed automatically by this method. Should there be any problems during the installation, a few details about the problem will be shown. A new screen confirming a successful installation will appear after the extension has been fully installed. Once an extension has been installed, return to the Magento admin area and modify its settings to suit your needs. Ensuring that your online business is operating error-free and correctly is also crucial.
