Installation Steps

Manual Installation (Installing Magento 2 extension by copying code)

 

Step 1:

 

For Windows OS:

 

Go to <your Magento install dir>/app/code. Under that, create the folders using following hierarchy:

 

Biztech

 

– Geolocation

 

 

For Linux OS:

 

Enter the following commands while keeping their order:

 

cd <your Magento install dir>/app/code

 

mkdir -p Biztech/ Geoip

 

After this, find the Download Zip and extract all files and folders in the folder you just created Biztech/Geoip.

 

 

Step 2:

 

After the successful installation you have to run the command on Magento 2 root directory:

“php bin/magento setup:upgrade”

 

If you see a blank page or permission error, go to Terminal (Linux)/Command Prompt(Windows).

 

cd [magento root directory][var]

 

run the following command

 

$ chmod –R 777 *

 

 

Step 3:

 

After running the command, log into the admin panel and clear the Cache. Go to SYSTEM -> Tools (section) -> CACHE MANAGEMENT to clear the cache.

 

Step 4:

 

After successful installation, you can see the ‘GeoIP Redirect’ under APPJETTY EXTENSIONS tab inside STORES -> CONFIGURATION.

 

 

Installation via Composer

 

Step 1:

 

Create a new folder on your preferable server path. Add Extension zip archive into the created folder.

 

Step 2: 

 

Use Your SSH details to connect to your server. After connecting to the SSH, change your working directory with one of your Magento setup paths using the below command:

cd /PATH/TO_YOUR_MAGENTO_SETUP_PATH

 

 

Step 3:

 

Now you have to define the folder with the extension’s archive as a repository for composer reference. For this, run the Composer command:

 

composer config repositories.biztech artifact /ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_ZIP_Archive_FOLDER/

 

For Example:

 

composer config repositories.biztech artifact /Packages/Biztech/

 

After executing this command, it will automatically add Repository Details in composer.json file.

 

 

Step 4: 

 

Perform the following command for installation of the module:

 

composer require biztech/geolocation

 

 

Step 5:

 

After successful installation using the above command you can verify the module status using the below command:

 

php bin/magento module:status

 

You can check the newly added module in the List of disabled modules.

 

Step 6:

 

Now you can upgrade your setup using the below command.

 

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

It will enable the module and it should be doing the automated process required by Magento.

 

 

Step 7:

 

You can now compile the modules using the below command.

 

php bin/magento setup:di:compile

 

Step 8:

 

In case if you have to update our extension from a composer you can use the below command:

 

composer update biztech/geolocation

 

But before using that command you should have placed the latest Extension zip archive into the /ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_ZIP_Archive_FOLDER/

 

After executing the above command your module is updated and now you just have to run the upgrade command same as step 6 and compile command same as step 7.

 

Once the installation is successful, scroll down to activate the extension.
