Luongmyno This topic is not for doing any support like that but you can install extensions using composer and copy/pasting the command starting with composer available on any extension topic onto your ssh command line.

And the topic magically pops out of your thread!

Basically, Luongmyno, the prevailing solution is to have a local (via XAMPP/WAMP/etc) copy of your flarum installation. Then you can update and install extensions there, and then upload the new files to your shared host with a database backup. It means a lot of shuffling back and forth, the better method is to find a host that offers SSH access, but you can do it if you're pretty dedicated.

Luongmyno On shared host without ssh access you can't install a extension nor update flarum normally.
