Installation¶

Admin rights are required to install and activate the Extension Builder.

Composer mode¶

If your TYPO3 installation uses Composer, install the latest Extension Builder through:

composer require friendsoftypo3/extension-builder

If you are not using the latest version of the Extension Builder, you need to add a version constraint, for example:

composer require friendsoftypo3/extension-builder:"^10.0"

Warning

If you are in composer mode, you need to add at least one entry inside "repositories" in your composer.json file. Otherwise the extension_builder will fail to save your extension. The extension_builder will store your generated extension in this folder.

"repositories": [
    "local": {
        "type": "path",
        "url": "Packages/*"
    }
]

Installing the extension prior to TYPO3 11.4¶

Before TYPO3 11.4 it was still necessary to manually activate extensions installed via Composer using the Extension Manager. Activate it as follows:

Navigate to Admin Tools > Extensions > Installed Extensions
Search for extension_builder
Activate the extension by clicking on the Activate button in the A/D column

Legacy mode¶

If you are working with a TYPO3 installation that does not use Composer, install the extension in the Extension Manager:

Navigate to Admin Tools > Extensions > Get Extensions.
Click on Update now
Search for extension_builder
Click Import and install on the side of the extension entry

and activate it:

Navigate to Admin Tools > Extensions > Installed Extensions
Search for extension_builder
Activate the extension by clicking on the Activate button in the A/D column
