Each extension is distributed as a compressed archive. The name = of the archive file includes the name of the extension and its release vers= ion. Furthermore, the compression type is indicated by the file ending, eit= her "tgz", "tar.gz", "bz2", or "zip". For example:
Windows users should download the "zip" archive. Linux/UNIX users may do= wnload any archive format as long as the necessary unpacking tools are avai= lable.
Copy the downloaded archive into the "extension" directory of your eZ Pu= blish installation. If this directory does not exist yet, then create it. (= Do not create the directory with the plural naming "extensions" - this is a= common error.)
The following shell commands can be used to create the "extension" direc= tory and copy the archive on a Linux/UNIX system:
mkdir <eZ_Publish_root_folder>/ezpublish_legacy/extension/ cp /home/myuser/download/ezfoo-extension-1.0.tar.gz <eZ_Publish_root_fol= der>/ezpublish_legacy/extension/=20
Replace "<eZ_Publish_root_folder>" with the actual path to your eZ= Publish installation and "/home/myuser/download/ezfoo-extension-1.0.tar.gz= " with the actual path to the downloaded archive.
The archive should be unpacked inside the "extension" directory. When do= ne correctly, an "ezfoo" directory will be created inside the "extension" d= irectory.
See the following table for the correct shell command to use on a Linux/= UNIX system, depending on the compression type:
Archive type |
Command to extract |
|---|---|
tar.gz or tgz |
tar=
-zxvf ezfoo-extension-1.0.tar.gz
or tar -zxvf ezfoo=
-extension-1.0.tgz
|
bz2 |
tar=
-jxvf ezfoo-extension-1.0.bz2
|
zip |
unz=
ip ezfoo-extension-1.0.zip
|
On Windows, you can just unzip the "zip" file using the built-in zip fea= tures.
At this point, the unpacked files should be available under "extension/e= zfoo".
