Installing the AliExpress connector module manually is an easy task. Follow these simple steps to install it in your Magento store effortlessly.

Step #1 –  Firstly move to the Magento root directory by navigating to: /var/www/html/magentorootdirectory.

Note* – The above path will differ in your case.

Step #2 – Now within the app folder in the Magento root directory, create a new folder named “code”. Inside the “code” folder, create another folder with the Vendor name of the module i.e., “Ced”. Then create two sub-folders for module name i.e., ConnectBase & ConnectAliExpress.

So, the final directories are:

{magento_root_dir}/app/code/Ced/ConnectBase

{magento_root_dir}/app/code/Ced/ConnectAliExpress

As you can see the registration.php file is of the base module. It will be found in the base module folder (to be shared by CedCommerce). 

Here, you will notice “Ced_ConnectBase” written at the end of the file. This is the name of the folder excluding “Ced_” i.e., ConnectBase. The base module needs to be placed inside it.

In the AliExpress module as well, finding the registration.php file is the same as explained above. You also have to name the folder and place the AliExpress module in it as mentioned above.

 Step #3 – Now move/paste the base module & AliExpress module files & folder inside ConnectBase & ConnectAliExpress folders respectively.

registration.php file should be in parallel to the app/code/Ced/ConnectBase path.

Once you have pasted the file open the command prompt. Now, change to the Magento root directory with the help of the below commands.

Simply run the below commands one by one.

• php bin/magento setup:upgrade
• php bin/magento setup:di:compile
• php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
• php bin/magento cache:flush

Step #4 – Open Magento and there you will find the extension named AliExpress Marketplace.
