On the extension installation page, you have 4 options to install the module:

  • a. Upload Package File: If you have downloaded the module as a package file (usually a ZIP file) from the developer's website or a trusted Joomla extension directory, you can click the "Browse" button and select the package file from your computer. Once selected, click the "Upload & Install" button to install the module.

Make sure the module files are in the correct directory structure as required by Joomla. After entering the directory path, click the "Install" button.
