A guide for installing modules with the MAGE installer
Make the mage package executable
chmod 777 ./mage
chmod 550 ./mage
or
chmod 700 ./mage
You need to connect to the community channel for any modules you install from the Magento connect community
./mage channel-add http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community
Using the ASchroder.com SMTP Pro Email module as an example. http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/ASchroder/extension/1865/aschroder.com-smtp-pro
- select Magento Connect 2.0 and get the key
You will notice the key is a complete URL. You only need last part of the URL once you have connected to the community channel. http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/ASchroder_SMTPPro
./mage install community ASchroder_SMTPPro
If the key is http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/module_name
./mage http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community module_name
If the mage installer fails because of the module being in beta you can switch your installer with the following:
./mage config-set preferred_state beta
