- Fileinfo Extension (required by intervention/image)

Installing Dependencies
When downloading this plugin directly via the e107 plugin manager in the admin area or from the e107.org official website the package lacks dependencies required for the plugin to work, this is due to upload size limitation at e107.org. You'll have to fetch these dependencies using composer or download the whole package from plugin repository here in Github.
To install the dependencies using composer run the following command in the plugin directory:
composer install
If your web-server does not allow running commands in a secure shell session; or for any other reasons, you may download the plugin from its repository here and upload it manually using FTP or other means.
