Installing

PHP Requirements

The Nosto Magento 2 extension requires at least PHP version 7.4

Installing the extension

Link to GitHub repository: https://github.com/Nosto/nosto-magento2

Currently, the only way of installing the extension is via Composer. If you don't have composer installed you can get it by following these instructions. It's recommended to install composer globally. You will also need public key and private key from Magento Marketplace or Magento Connect in order to install packages to Magento 2 via Composer. Please follow these instructions to get public key and private key http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.2/install-gde/prereq/connect-auth.html. Once you have composer installed you can install Nosto extension (nosto/module-nostotagging).

composer require --no-update nosto/module-nostotagging:"@stable" && composer update --no-dev

After the packages are installed you still need to enable the module by running following commands inside Magento's installation base directory.

Note: Before running the bin/magento command make sure the file is executable.

bin/magento module:enable --clear-static-content Nosto_Tagging
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento cache:clean
bin/magento setup:di:compile

You might need to change file permissions or ownership of the generated files after the installation.

After running the commands above you can login to the store admin. You will find Nosto -link under Marketing section.

Magento's repository does not contain the latest release

In case you are pulling the dependencies from Magento's repository repo.magento.com and you encounter an error where the latest release is not present, you can exclude Nosto packages and instead pull them from the default repository https://repo.packagist.org/.

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "composer",
        "url": "https://repo.magento.com/",
        "exclude": ["nosto/*"]
    }
]

Indexer mode

We strongly recommend that you set the mode for Nosto indexer(s) to be "Update by schedule". This is important especially with large product catalogs and / or when using multiple store views. Read more about indexer performance and optimization here
