✨ Installation Guide

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) 1. Download the extension from your customer account. 2. 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. Need Help?
