HOW TO INSTALL VIA SSH.

Step 1.

Before starting the installation:
- Ensure your Magento version is compatible - Please check the current compatible versions on its product page.
- Install the extension on a testing/development/staging environment first, then, after thoroughly testing it out, install it on a production (live) environment.
- Make sure the Magento instance is in developer mode. You can use the php bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer command to change the mode to developer and then check to make sure the generated folder in the root of the Magento project is empty.
Step 2.
Copy the extension files to below paths of your magento 2 instance. If ‘app/code/Acx’ folder is missing, please create it manually:
app/code/Acx/Backend
app/code/Acx/Webpos

Step 3.
Access the root of your magento 2 project from command line and run the following commands:

composer require mpdf/mpdf

php bin/magento module:enable Acx_Backend Acx_Purchase Acx_PurchasePro Acx_Pdf Acx_PdfPurchase Acx_Supplier

/* (example extension; this may differ for other modules) */

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

rm -rf var/di generated/*

php bin/magento setup:di:compile

rm -rf pub/static/*/*; rm -rf var/*/*

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

php bin/magento cache:flush

Step 4.
Flush any cache that you might still have enabled on your server or in Magento.
Step 5:
If your store was in production mode before starting the installation, make sure to switch it back to production mode by running the following command in the root of your Magento installation: php bin/magento deploy:mode:set production.
