Installation
- We suggest that you install AddressFinder via composer. The steps below outline this process, and work for Magento versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3. If you would prefer to install via the Magento marketplace you can find our extension here.
- 1. Open the terminal and go to your Magento installation directory and enter:
composer require addressfinder/module-magento2
This installs the AddressFinder extension within Magento. This takes about five minutes. - 2. Once installation is completed, enable the AddressFinder module by entering:
bin/magento module:enable AddressFinder_AddressFinder - 3. Run the setup:upgrade command:
bin/magento setup:upgrade - 4. Clear the cache:
bin/magento cache:flush - 5. You may need to recompile your dependency injection cache and redeploy themes, especially in production. This process, which varies from site to site and is outside the context of installing this module, generally involves the commands:
bin/magento setup:di:compilebin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
