Authenticate, Update and Install Eorisis software. Eorisis Setup is a free open source Installer plugin for Joomla and WordPress, that keeps websites authenticated to Eorisis software.


Quick Start


By default, after initial installation the Setup Installer plugin is disabled. All you need to do is enable the Installer plugin.
Also make sure that you clear the Cache of your Joomla and browser.


Installation & Updates


The downloadable package zip file can be used as an initial install or as an upgrade without the need to uninstall the previous version. Once you have downloaded the zip file, login to your Joomla Administration area and navigate to System -> Install: Extensions (Joomla 4 or higher), or Extensions -> Manage -> Install (Joomla 3) from the top menu. Then you can Drag and drop or click 'Browse for file' from the 'Upload Package File' tab.

IMPORTANT:
The zip file is intended to be used as is at the Joomla Extensions Manager. This will execute the package installer and perform all tasks required. DO NOT unzip/extract or upload separate files that are included in the package in order to perform an install or update.
Doing so may lead to errors.

Always take a backup of your website before you install any extension.



Uninstall


To uninstall an extension, always use your native Joomla Extensions area. For Joomla 4 or higher it is System -> Manage: Extensions, for Joomla 3 it is Extensions -> Manage -> Manage. This will remove the whole application properly and all of your settings related to it. Eorisis applications uninstall fully, including their database tables.



Notes


The extension gets installed with all Eorisis software, as it is part of their package. Being enabled on your Joomla site, it executes each time you click on the update button of an Eorisis Joomla extension via your Joomla Update system. It sends a hashed version of your Authorization Code to our server in order to authenticate the request. The server responds and gives you the update directly to your Joomla, so the update process completes.

Updating this extension itself, is the same process except that it doesn’t require an Authorization Code. Every time you update any Eorisis software that includes the Setup plugin in the package, your Setup plugin will get updated if required.
