How to install a not listed Extension?

Question

I want to install extensions which are not listed in the "Add Neww" directory, such as :

• de.systopia.osm-1.2
• net.ourpowerbase.exportpermission-master

I copied those (from their Git source) to my Site Extension directory, but they don't appear in my Extensions list, so, I cant activate them.

How can I activate them ?

Answer 1

Here is the documentation from the administrator guide: https://docs.civicrm.org/sysadmin/en/latest/customize/extensions/#installing-a-new-extension

There are three steps:

• Upload extension package
• Extract (Unzip) the package
• Install and enable the extension, you should refresh your extensions page to show the new extension.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The other suggestions are good. If one is a fan of CLI, then cv provides a few easy options.

Download a published extension from the directory (long name).

cv dl org.example.foobar

Download a published extension from the directory (short name).

cv dl foobar

Download an unpublished extension (long name and zip URL)

cv dl org.example.foobar@http://example.org/files/foobar-1.2.zip

Download a pre-release (alpha/beta) from the directory.

cv dl --dev foobar

Note: By default, all these commands will download to the configured extensions folder, use a sensible subfolder (e.g. sites/default/files/civicrm/ext/org.example.foobar), and refresh the ext list. You can download to an alternate location ( --to=<absolute-path>).

I apologize : I found that I have some jam in my Extension directories : my extensions files are not in the directory specified for (civicrm/ext by default), but in an other (probably to be able to update civicrm without loosing the Extensions).

But, what was unexpected is that refreshing listed this old list while it should have listed an empty list.

I have to put some order in there.
