After logging in, access the \u2018<strong>Joomla Extension Manager<\/strong>\u2019 by going to <strong>Extensions &gt;&gt; Manage &gt;&gt; Install<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Once you are in the Extensions manager, there are three ways in which you can install Joomla extensions, they are mentioned below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>#1 : Install By Uploading Package File<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is one of the most easy and convenient options for installing extensions. All you have to do is click on the \u2018Or browse for file\u2019 option, browse and reach the location of your extension\u2019s archive present on your local computer, select it and upload it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#2 : Install From Directory<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This option is appropriate for large extensions that exceed the PHP upload Filesize limit and cannot be uploaded through a package file. It is convenient to upload such components, modules or plugins through FTP into a folder in your hosting account as FTP can transfer the bigger files. Once the extension directory is uploaded to your hosting account, go to \u2018Extensions Manager\u2019 and click on the \u2018Install\u2019 button. Joomla 3 version will look for the folder that you have specified and it will install the extension if it is uploaded perfectly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#3 : Install From URL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The third option available for installing Joomla extensions is installing them directly through a URL. All you have to do is enter the direct address of the zip archive along with the extension that you wish to install and click on the \u2018Check and install\u2019 option. Joomla 3 version will download the file, extract it and it will carry out the necessary installations for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/add-modify-users-joomla-3\/\">How To Add And Modify Users In Joomla 3?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although Joomla comprises of many in-built functions, you can add a completely new functionality to your website through extensions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[128],"tags":[198,199,445,446],"class_list":["post-4352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","placeholder-for-hentry","category-cms-faq","tag-joomla","tag-joomla-cms","tag-joomla-extensions","tag-joomla-website"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
