magentomagento2.1

Why I can't see Magento connect and Magento connect manager in the admin page?

I just finished installing Magento 2.1, and I want to install a theme (template). But I cannot see Magento connect and Magento connect manager to install template. I was searching on Google and YouTube but only found results for old versions of Magento.

See the image:

Solution

  • Magento connect and connect manager are used to install the extension in magneto 1.

    But in Magento 2, the extensions can be installed from System -> Web setup wizard.

    Here is a nice tutorial that will help you out.

    You can also enable an extension in magento 2 through cmd prompt by following below steps :

    Step 1: Download/purchase the extension

    Step 2: Unzip the file in a temporary directory

    Step 3: Upload it to your Magento installation root directory

    Step 4: Disable the cache under System­ >> Cache Management

    Step 5: Enter the following at the command line, from the root folder of magento installation:

    php ­-f bin/magento setup:upgrade
