Magento 2 Installation Guide

Installation guide for the Hello Retail business Magento 2 extension.

Our Magento 2 extension is developed for Magento 2.2 and higher but should be compatible with 2.0 and 2.1 as long as PHP 7 is used in your environment.
Our category feed is dependent on API features released in Magento 2.2 and so will not work in 2.0 or 2.1.
 

Installation via Magento marketplace:

Our Magento extension can easily be installed via the web setup wizard and Magento marketplace.
In order to do so you will need to follow these steps:

1. Go to marketplace.magento.com and login to you account.
    
2. Locate the search bar and type in "addwish" - click the one for M2.
    
3. Click the "add to cart" button and proceed to checkout - once the purchase is complete you can leave the site.
    
4. Go to your magento 2 backend and find system -> web setup wizard and click it.
5. Enter the extension manager - Make sure that you are connected to the Magento Marketplace Account on which you have purchased the addwish extension.
6. Click the "Review and install" button under the headline "extensions ready to install".
    
7. if you are connected to a magento marketplace account that has purchased the addwish extension, you should be able to locate the adddwish extension in the list - do so and click "Install".
    
8. We encourage that you check with your developer on whether to do a backup or not.
    
9. Click the "Install" button - As a default your shop will go in maintenance mode while installing the extension, so we recommend that you do this when there is little traffic on your site.
    
10. If everything went smooth you should get a success notification. If errors occur please forward them to support@helloretail.com and possibly also have your developer look at it. 

11. The final step is to locate addwish > Module Configuration in your left menu - click it.
    Now you must insert your addwish partner ID (you find this in the setup flow or by logging in to your addwish business account and navigate to Settings > Tracking script).
    On this page, you can also control the settings of the extension.
    Please enable all feed and tracking options, so Hello Retail has all the relevant data available.
    
     

Installation via manual upload:

If you are comfortable with ftp and have shell access, then you can download and install our extension manually.

1. Click here: to download version 1.1.25
2. Navigate to <magento_main_dir>/app/code/ (if code folder ins't there you create it) and create a folder named Addwish. Inside the Addwish folder you create another folder called Awext, so you end up with a folder structure like this: <magento_main_dir>/app/code/Addwish/Awext
    
3. Unpack the zip file and copy all the files inside the folder (not the folder itself, just the files inside) to the location we just created: <magento_main_dir>/app/code/Addwish/Awext

4. Run these commands in your shell:

   php bin/magento module:enable Addwish_Awext
   php bin/magento setup:upgrade
   php bin/magento setup:di:compile
    
5. Once the extension has been installed, navigate to addwish > Module Configuration.
   Here you must insert your addwish partner ID (you find this in the setup flow or by logging in to your addwish business account and navigate to Settings > Tracking script).
   On this page, you can also control the settings of the extension.
    

Installation via composer:

The addwish extension is in the magento repo at repo.magento.com - in order to access this you need to make sure that this repo is in your magento's composer.json file (it should be as a default)
You may also want to add your magento marketplace private and public key to your magento's auth.json file

Next you need to follow steps 1-3 in the above guide "Installation via magento marketplace"

When this is done you should be able to install with the following commands:

composer require addwish/awext

php bin/magento module:enable Addwish_Awext
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile

Once the extension has been installed, navigate to addwish > Module Configuration.
Here you must insert your addwish partner ID (you find this in the setup flow or by logging in to your addwish business account and navigate to Settings > Tracking script).
On this page, you can also control the settings of the extension.
