Can't install with composer

[ps202]

If I try to install it, I get: [Composer\Downloader\TransportException] The "https://github.com/adampmoss/foxseo2/packages.json" file could not be downloaded (HTTP/1.1 4 04 Not Found)

[giusecapo]

Same here, how did you fix this? @ps202 @coresh

[giusecapo]

Please it's urgent @adampmoss

[adampmoss]

Guys this module isn't fully tested - I haven't created a release yet. My advice would be to not use it until there's a release.

@giusecapo i have installed like: 1) git clone https://github.com/adampmoss/foxseo2 /to/path 2) mkdir -p /magento2/app/code/Fox 3) cp -au /to/path /magento2/app/code/Fox/Seo

@adampmoss Dear Adam, when (~) you are planing the "first" release?

[adampmoss]

@coresh I don't have any solid release plans yet but I would like to have it ready by the end of Q2 17

Hi there, Heard Create was bought by another company and they do not support devs from Creare Modules anymore... Is that correct? Any plans to turn it possible to install? I use Magento 1 and Creare SEO Extension was crucial to keep the site relevant in Google...

Hi there, Is there anybody who can finish this module and / or get it working? I have been working with the Magento 1 module for so long and it would be really sad to leave this module, i do not know a good alternative even if i want to pay.

I tried: upload the files in app/code/fox/seo, deactivate the composer file. Then run: "php bin/magento setup:upgrade" and "php bin/magento setup:di:compile" but get a message of missing files/commands during compile.

At the end, i found a simple solution to get things installed. Just downloaded the ZIP file and extract in magento rootsystem app/code. Make directory Fox (capital F is important) Make directory Seo (capital S is important) put all maps and files from the extracted ZIP file in the Fox/Seo file

rename or delete the 'composer.json' file to make it invalid then start putty, log in with your magento root run: php bin/magento setup:upgrade php bin/magento setup:di:compile php bin/magento cache:flush

For me now this did the job and i got the module installed without any errors and appears in my admin. Let's see if we have no bugs, but for now both frontend and backend looks correct.

This makes me very happy because this extension was greatly valued in magento 1, i used it for several years and made my magento SEO depend on this module. I really hope Fox or Adam will work on this module again to keep things updated :-) Thank you so much for this module till so far.

@venture-travels I'm about to migrate from Magento 1 to Magento 2 How much would you charge to install it for it in case I cannot do it?

[LuizSantos1]

I have managed to install it as well But as a dummie, I will fully explain it by the detail so everyone can use it

For the people that the explanation above was not clear enough, To install it you need to do:

Download the zip file "foxseo2-master.zip" from github Upload the zip file to your Magento 2 root folder (where all of your magento 2 folders are) Unzip it, it will generate an extracted folder called "foxseo2-master" Go inside this folder and rename the file "composer.json", to anything, like "composer.json_INVALID" this is to invalidate this mean of installation Now you might have two alternatives

ALTERNATIVE 1 (Which I have tried and it worked)

If your Magento version was installed using the official Magento composer metapackage command line you will need to create a folder call "app" and another one inside of it called "code" This is because on this version, these folders don't exist as they are called "vendor" on this version

Now, create a folder inside app/code, called "Fox" Now, create a folder inside app/code/Fox called "Seo" This way, the full path will be: app/code/Fox/Seo

Now go back to the root of your Magento 2, and go inside the extrated folder "foxseo2-master" and COPY all the files inside of this folder to: app/code/Fox/Seo

Now we will use the "SSH" commands php bin/magento setup:upgrade php bin/magento setup:di:compile php bin/magento cache:flush

Now go to your Magento 2 admin panel, and hit "Store" and Fox Seo should be there if everything was well installed

ALTERNATIVE 2 Do the same steps as above, but instead of creating the "app" and "code" folders, you will use the "vendor" and create "Fox" folder inside and then, inside of "Fox" folder, "Seo" folder the full path being: vender/Fox/Seo Go back to Magento 2 root, go inside of "foxseo2-master" and copy all files to "Seo" folder the path being: vendor/Fox/Seo Do not forget to change the name of the file "composer.json" to anything else to avoid installation issues. Alert, this method was not tested, I will only following this Magento version logic as all modules go inside "vendor" folder.

I hope my explanation will help someone
