Steps

1. Downloading the File
2. Preparing the File Structure
3. Installing the Module
4. Checking if it's Enabled
5. Flushing the Magento Cache

1) Downloading the File

Download and unpack the archived package for the extension, after obtaining it from either the Confirmation Email or from the User Dashboard on  http://www.cminds.com.

Unpack this file before the next step.

2) Preparing the File Structure

Make sure the path app/code/Cminds exists inside the root, as shown below. If it doesn't, create the necessary folders.

Then, inside "Cminds" you should create a folder named "SupplierInventoryUpdate" (marked in gray below). Paste the files you unpacked in the last step there.

In Magento 2,  module files are placed in one folder so there is no need to copy files to different directories like it used to be in Magento 1.

3) Installing the Module

Open the console and type the following commands: 

1. php bin/magento module:enable Cminds_SupplierInventoryUpdate
   	

2. php bin/magento setup:upgrade
   	

3. For Magento 2.0.x, 2.1.x:
   rm -rf var/di
   rm -rf var/generation
   
   For Magento 2.2.x:
   rm -rf generated/*
   	

4. php bin/magento setup:di:compile
   	

5. rm -rf pub/static/*
   	

6. php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
   
   In Magento 2.2.x, depending of the mode in which Magento is running, it may be necessary to add a "-f" flag to the end of the above command.
   	

7. chmod -R 777 pub/static
   	

8. For Magento 2.0.x, 2.1.x:
   chmod -R 777 var
   
   For Magento 2.2.x:
   chmod -R 777 generated
   chmod -R 777 var
   	

4) Checking if the Extension is Enabled

To check the list of enabled modules, you can either:

• Run the command "php bin/magento module:status" in the console command.
• Or check manually in "app/etc/config.php" file.

5) Flushing the Magento Cache

The last thing that you need to do is to flush Magento cache. You can do this in two ways:

• Running in console command the command 'php bin/magento cache:clean':

php bin/magento cache:clean
	

• In the Admin Panel, heading to System → Cache Management, then selecting all elements and clicking 'Flush Magento Cache'.
