Installing operations

You can install operations in various ways.

The installation with composer is the preferred way for modern TYPO3 Installations. I described this already in Installation chapter.

Tip

You find detailed information about installing extensions with composer here in TYPO3 documentation Getting Started.

Install operations by downloading it in Extension Manager

Most of the beginners in TYPO3 are not familiar with Composer and using the backend for installing extensions. Therefore I want to describe how to install operations with Extension Manager in backend.

1. Go to "ADMIN TOOLS" > "Extensions"

   

2. In the Docheader, select "Get Extensions"

   

3. Click "Update now" The button is on the top right.

   

4. Enter the name of the extension (operations) in the search field

   

5. Click on "Go"

   

6. Click on the Action icon on the left for the extension "Import and Install"

   
   
   

   Now the extension is installed, but not activated. To activate it:

7. Choose "Installed Extensions" in the Docheader

   

8. Click on the icon with a "+" sign for your extension in the "A/D" column.

   

Now you have installed operations successfully.

Install operations after downloading the zip file

Many users are download operations directly from TER. Therefore I described here the manually upload too.

1. Go to "ADMIN TOOLS" > "Extensions"

   

2. Click the small icon in the Docheader to open the upload form

   
   
   
   

3. After uploading the file you have to activate it. It's the same step as described already before in step 8.

The next steps are to load and configure the TypoScript. That is necessary to get operations working.
