You can manage all your extensions through the Extensions > Manage section. Whether it’s installing a new extension, updating, or disabling existing ones, the process is straightforward.
To manually install the extensions, follow these steps:
1. Download the .zip package from the Joomla extensions directory.
2. Go to Extensions -> Manage -> Install section.
3. Click on the Upload Package File tab.
4. Choose the file and upload the .zip archive.
Enable the Install from Web tab to allow you to search and install any Joomla! extensions without leaving the administrator panel.
