Installing the extension

Use these steps to install the extension on your store.

Prepare for installation​

  1. Back up your store's database and web directory.
  2. Log in to the SSH console of your server and navigate to the root directory of your Magento 2 store.
  3. Copy the installation instructions from the My Downloadable Products page and paste them into the SSH console. Press ENTER to proceed.

Execute the following commands to install the extension​

  1. Run the following command to enable the extension:

    php -f bin/magento module:enable Mirasvit_Core Mirasvit_Gdpr Mirasvit_GdprConsent Mirasvit_GdprCookie

  2. Run the following command to install the extension:

    php -f bin/magento setup:upgrade

  3. Clear the cache:

    php -f bin/magento cache:clean

  4. Deploy static view files:

    rm -rf pub/static/*; rm -rf var/view_preprocessed/*;
    php -f bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

If you are using the Hyvä theme​

Hyvä support ships with the extension, so there is no compatibility module to install. On a Luma store the Hyvä part stays dormant. The extension carries its own Tailwind styles, so the theme has to be rebuilt once after installation.

Note

Until you do, the cookie bar and the cookie settings window still behave correctly — the rules that decide what is shown and what is hidden ship as a stylesheet and need no build. It is their appearance that waits for it.

  1. Register the extension with the Hyvä build:

    bin/magento hyva:config:generate

  2. Rebuild the theme assets:

    cd /path/to/theme/web/tailwind/
    npm run build

    On a theme older than Hyvä 1.4, run npm run build-prod instead.

  3. Deploy static view files:

    cd /path/to/project/
    rm -rf pub/static/*; rm -rf var/view_preprocessed/*;
    php -f bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

  4. Flush the cache:

    bin/magento cache:flush
Note

Until version 1.8.0 this was a separate package, mirasvit/module-gdpr-hyva. If it is still installed on your store, upgrading the extension removes it by itself. See How to upgrade the extension.

If you want to upgrade the extension, please refer to the How to upgrade the extension section. To temporarily disable or remove it, use the commands from the How to disable the extension section.
