Manual íntall

NguynVnT

Hi all,
I have question for how to install the extension manually?
I tried to do as below:
- Download and upload source extension (ex: flarum.dev \ vendor \ flagrow \ flarum-ext-image-upload
- copy the "composer.json"'s contents and adding to file flarum.dev\composer.json\vendor\composer\installed.json
- edit files flarum.dev\vendor\composer\autoload_psr4.php

=> I saw that the extension can work normally, but the position as at some config it does not show correct as "Upload method" or "Imgur settings". .. which is usually show code format as "flarum-ext-upload-form" or "flarum-ext-uploa-imgur.id" .... so I think I didn't change enough.
So can you help me showed how to install manually extention?

Many thks

You should be installing an extension via Composer.

composer require flagrow/flarum-ext-image-upload

jordanjay29 thks. But I using hosting share, so I cannot use composer on it

jordanjay29

Some shared hosting has SSH access, you should double check if your host provides it.

NguynVnT

jordanjay29 Yup, my hosting have ssh access. I tried to install composer by download and put file composer.phar in installation folder. But I ran " php composer require flagrow/flarum-ext-image-upload" and it show nothing.

NguynVnT I tried to install composer by download and put file composer.phar in installation folder. But I ran " php composer require flagrow/flarum-ext-image-upload" and it show nothing.

It shouldn't show nothing. At worst, you should get an error. Can you please paste in here the output of the command? Enclose it like this for easier reading:
```
your output here

jordanjay29 Many tks, today I tried and It install successfull.

But, I have another problem, I installed extension Vietnamese Language (https://discuss.flarum.org/d/1057-vietnamese-extension-is-here). This ext cannot install via composer, so i installed manual as my first post.

Today I tried install another ext via composer, it show:

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.


  [InvalidArgumentException]
  Package laptrinhphp/vietnamese-0.1.0.0 seems not been installed properly
`````

Do you have any idea for that?

Many thanks.

NguynVnT That extension is not up to date and will not work on Beta 5.

jordanjay29 Okie, thank you very much, I resolved my isssue. I wish you have a nice day. ?

NguynVnT could you please tell me how you are manually installing the extensions? I also run my forum on a shared host server and have been manually installing them by doing the following

1: drop the extension's source folder into the vendor/flarum directory
2: running compose install in that directory
3: extension is installed

This has worked for the last couple of extensions i tried to install, however, this method has stopped working for me as it no longer installs the package successfully. Could you please explain more on how you edit the autoload and install.json files? If you could also drop a few example files I would appreciate it. THank you!

blai As I mentioned to NguynVnT, double check with your host to make sure you don't actually have SSH access. Many shared hosts nowadays offer it.

jordanjay29 I do have ssh access but everytime I try to install it the regular way, I am getting blocked due to hitting the "resource limitations" of my host.

Solved in blai's other thread.
