Follow this guide to install any Blackbird extension on your Magento 2 store.
✅ Prerequisites
Before starting the installation, make sure:
-
Your store runs Magento 2.3.x or higher.
-
You are comfortable using the command line.
-
The site is in developer mode (recommended for installation).
⚠️ Do not install extension directly to a production environment without testing it before in a development environment.
1. Get the Extension
You can get the Blackbird extension in one of the following ways:
Option A: Via Composer (Recommended)
As the module is hosted in a private repository, you may need to add credentials or repository information to your composer.json. Follow this guide on how to generate the access keys and configure your composer.json .
composer require blackbird/module-extension-name
🔁 Replace module-extension-name with the actual package name (e.g., blackbird/contentmanager).
Option B: Manual Installation (ZIP File)
-
Download the extension from your customer account.
-
Extract the contents and upload them to:
app/code/Blackbird/ExtensionName
app/code/Blackbird/ExtensionName
🗂️ Make sure the folder structure is: app/code/Blackbird/ExtensionName/registration.php, etc.
NB: Install all the modules present in the require section of composer.json. Generally, the blackbird/extensions-core is required. You can find it here.
2. Enable the Module
Run the following CLI commands from your Magento root directory:
bin/magento module:enable Blackbird_ExtensionName
bin/magento setup:upgrade
If needed:
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
⚠️ Replace Blackbird_ExtensionName with the correct module name.
3. Clear Cache
bin/magento cache:clean bin/magento cache:flush
4. Verify Installation
You can verify that the module is installed correctly by running:
bin/magento module:status
Look for Blackbird_ExtensionName in the list of enabled modules.
You can also check in the Admin Panel, where a new menu item or feature section should now appear depending on the extension.
