INSTALLATION & UPGRADE VIA FILE UPLOAD

• From your profile download the plugin package
• If you are updating from an older version make sure tu uninstall the old version before installing the newer version
• Load the new package into the Magento Connect Manager using the Direct package file upload feature.
• This will trigger the installation of the extension.
• Click “Refresh” at the end of the installation step, and you should see BrandsSync in the list of installed extensions.
• Scroll to the top and click on Return to Admin to return to your store admin console
• You may need to log out of the Magento admin and log back in to avoid permissions issues.

INSTALLATION & UPGRADE VIA FTP

If Direct package file upload is not available in Magento Connect Manager, you can perform the installation via FTP. To do so:

• Log out of Magento
• Unpackage the *.tgz file onto your computer. if you received a *.zip file from us, unzip the file, and then unpackage again the *.tgz file
• Upload via FTP the two folders “app” and “skin” folders to your Magento root folder, which already contains two folders with the same names. In other words, you will be adding new folders and files to those two folders, which already exist.
• Log into Magento and clear the Magento cache under System
• You should be able to use the Brands Sync extension
