Introduction

Why a Manual Install?

There's nothing like moving a good set of files in the morning. Gets your heart pumping! However, if you're here, it probably means you've already tried pear install in the standard installation.

You sure you want to do this?

While we ALWAYS recommend that you never edit files directly in your production environment, we know that some people do it anyways. If you're one of those people, you're asking for trouble. So, before you try these instructions, consider implementing some sort of testing environment (even on your local machine) and code versioning system (git, etc...). If you're already there, then let's continue and copy these files into your codebase manually.

These instructions are supplementary to the standard installation instructions. After completing these instructions you should continue in the standard instructions here.

How it Works

What we'll be doing here is copying all the files needed for Promobot manually instead of running the pear commands.

Pre-requisites

The steps

  1. Uncompress the tgz file you get after purchase. Most of the time, double-clicking the file does this. (If this doesn't work, then you might need a utility to )
  2. Inside the uncompressed folder, you'll find several folders and files. These make up what you'll need to copy over to a couple specific places. First, ensure you have a folder in app/code/community called "TinyBrick". Then, copy as follows:
    3. Source (Files/Folders) Destination (Files/Folders)
    TinyBrick/Promotion app/code/community/TinyBrick/Promotion
    modules/TinyBrick_Promotion.xml app/etc/modules/TinyBrick_Promotion.xml

You're done! You should now have the Promobot module installed. Head on back here for more information about general usage.
