How do I install a module in PrestaShop?

I downloaded the zip file from this site but I am not sure how to install it. Do I upload it via the back office or extract it manually to the modules folder?

Answer

Go to your PrestaShop back office, then Modules >> Module Manager and click "Upload a module" in the top right. Select the zip file you downloaded and PrestaShop will install it automatically. No need to extract anything manually. Also empty your website cache first: (Advanced settings >> Performance).

Also if the upload does not work you can pick the unpacked module en load it up with FTP in to the folder: "modules" and put it in there, and again, empty your cache afterwards.
