How to install modules in PrestaShop?
Table of Contents
The first step is to choose the module you want to use on your website and download it to your computer. Make sure that it is compatible with your PrestaShop’s version.
Installation via the admin panel
Navigate to the Modules menu and click on Modules Manager. You would be redirected to the Modules management screen. Click on Upload a module to proceed with the installation. A new pop-up would appear. You may either drop the module’s .zip file in that pop-up or use the select file link to browse for that module.
Once you choose the file from your computer or drop it in the box, the installation would begin and should be completed in a few seconds. A new pop-up with Module Installed! message would appear. Your module is installed now. You may click on Configure to edit the newly installed module’s options or leave it as it is. To review and configure the currently installed modules, navigate to Modules > Module Manager > Modules.
Installation via FTP
Again download the chosen module’s zip file to your local machine, but this time upload the .zip file to your account. Make sure to place it in the modules/ folder of your PrestaShop installation. After that extract the .zip file and login to your website’s admin panel.
Navigate to the Modules > Module Manager. Click on Modules and find the newly uploaded module and enable it.
