    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Extension Installation via Composer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1. In order to install your Magento 2 SMTP extension via the Composer, open the console (SSH terminal) and follow the commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1. Switch to your Magento 2 root directory in the terminal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>
    cd \/FULL_PATH_TO_YOUR_MAGENTO2<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    where “FULL_PATH_TO_YOUR_MAGENTO2” is the path to your Magento 2 folder on your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Step 2. Add the Plumrocket repository to your Composer configurations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>
    composer config repositories.plumrocket\ncomposer https:\/\/plumrocket.com\/repo\/<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    Step 3. Download Plumrocket extension files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>
    composer require plumrocket\/module-smtp<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    After running this command, you may be prompted to enter the username and password (see the How to Get Plumrocket Composer Repository Keys<\/a> user guide).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"Installation<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    Step 4. Install database and static resources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>
    php bin\/magento cache:flush\nphp bin\/magento setup:upgrade\nphp bin\/magento setup:di:compile\nphp bin\/magento setup:static-content:deploy<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    After running these commands, the extension should be installed successfully. A similar message should be displayed in your console as shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"Installation<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    Step 5. Set the serial key<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Step-by-step guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    1. Navigate to your Magento 2 Admin Panel and click on the “Plumrocket”<\/strong> tab.<\/li>
    2. If there is an “SMTP”<\/strong> tab in the list, it means that the extension has been successfully installed.<\/li>
    3. Navigate to the “SMTP”<\/strong> -> select the “Configuration”<\/strong> option.<\/li>
    4. Your Serial Key<\/strong> field should be auto-filled with the green check mark displayed. This means that the Serial Key has been successfully activated and the extension can be enabled. However, if the green check mark is not there – you will need to enter your product Serial Key manually. Please follow the License Installation for Magento 2 instructions<\/a> for more information.<\/li><\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
