This is an article from the Datatrics extension for Magento 2. We've tried our best in the preparation of this help article. If you do not find the answer you were looking for, you can always send us a message through this form.

To begin the installation, download the Datatrics extension package (.zip) file from your Magmodules or Marketplace dashboard under "My Downloads" and follow the installation steps outlined below.

Note: We strongly recommend testing the installation in a development environment before deploying it to production. Additionally, ensure you have a full backup of your store. For more details on creating a backup, refer to this guide.

Enable the Magento Cache using the located in System > Cache Management.

The ZIP file contains the necessary files that must be placed inside the Datatrics/Connect folder. Note: The directory structure is case-sensitive and must be created manually.
Follow the steps below to extract and upload the files correctly.

2 A. Extract the Extension Files
Unzip the extension package using a tool like WinZip, WinRAR, or a similar extraction program.

2 B. Upload the Unzipped Extension Files
Since the extracted files contain only the extension content, you must manually create the Datatrics/Connect folder inside app/code/ on your server and place all extracted files into this final Datatrics/Connect folder.


The final directory path for the uploaded content will be:
app/code/Datatrics/Connect

If you are updating an existing installation of one of our extensions, ensure that you overwrite the existing extension files.

3 A. Connect
Open the terminal and run the following command, then enter the user password. (Skip this step if you're installing the expansion on a local machine):

ssh username@domain.com

3 B. Locate The Root
Navigate to the Magento 2 web root directory by executing this command:

cd /full_path_to_magento2

3 C. Start Setup

Once the extension has been successfully downloaded, initiate the setup of the Datatrics extension using the following commands:

php bin/magento module:enable
php bin/magento setup:upgrade

If Magento is in production mode, you’ll need to recompile and deploy static content by running:

php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

After executing these commands, the extension is installed and ready for configuration. To configure it, go to Stores ⇨ Configuration ⇨ Magmodules ⇨ Datatrics.

Maintenance Mode

For production websites, it’s recommended to enable maintenance mode during installation or updates. Use the following commands before and after running the setup:

php bin/magento maintenance:enable
# Run setup commands
php bin/magento maintenance:disable

Once the installation is complete, the extension is successfully installed in your Magento® 2 store and ready to use.

Navigate to Stores > Configuration > Magmodules > Datatrics to configure and start using the extension.
