Installing the extension

Go through the following steps to install the extension.

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.
tip

To manually install the module in the app/code/ directory, download the archive from My Downloadable Products -> View & Download, unpack it, and copy the contents to Magento's root directory. Then, access your server via SSH, navigate to the Magento 2 root, and follow the installation steps.

Execute the following commands to install​

  1. Run the following command to enable the extension:

    php -f bin/magento module:enable Mirasvit_Core Mirasvit_GeoIp

  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 the extension was installed through direct files uploading, also need to run the command to install required libraries:

    composer require geoip2/geoip2:~2.0

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 redirect popup carries its own Tailwind styles, so the theme has to be rebuilt once after installation.

  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 1.4.0 Hyvä support was a separate package, mirasvit/module-geo-ip-hyva, providing the Hyva_MirasvitGeoIp module. Both are gone. If the package 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 page.
To temporarily disable or remove it, use the commands from the how to disable the extension guide.
