This manual provides a step-by-step guide for installing and configuring the Holnix plugin in your store environment.

For proper operation, it is recommended to ensure the following allocated memory values are available for both the server and the command-line interface (CLI):

**Minimum requirement:** 256MB

**Recommended:** 512MB

It is also advisable to configure the following minimum values on your server:

**POST_MAX_SIZE=16M**

**UPLOAD_MAX_SIZE=4M**

The minimum verified platform version for plugin compatibility is 2.4.3. Proper functionality is not guaranteed on earlier versions.

### **Downloading the plugin file**

1. **Receive the download link:** You will receive a download link for the Holnix plugin in your email. Click on the link.
2. **Download the ZIP archive:** Clicking the link will automatically download a compressed .zip file to your computer.

---

### **Uploading the plugin to your store**

1. **Access the root directory:** Use an FTP client to access the root directory of your store’s installation.
2. **Upload plugin files:** Upload the contents of the unzipped archive to the installation root. If your FTP client does not support merging folders, copy their contents to the corresponding paths manually. It is crucial that the directory structure mirrors the one observed in the ZIP archive.

### **Activating the plugin**

To install and activate the plugin, it is necessary to compile it. Execute the following commands via SSH from the installation root:

```
php -d memory_limit=-1 bin/magento setup:upgrade  
php -d memory_limit=-1 bin/magento setup:di:compile  
php -d memory_limit=-1 bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f  
php -d memory_limit=-1 bin/magento c:f
```

- The first command creates the necessary database tables.
- The second compiles dynamic files.
- The third generates static content.
- The fourth performs a full cache flush.

**Enable Cron Jobs:** Although the plugin can function without cron jobs enabled, this will significantly limit its capabilities. To enable them, run:

```
bin/magento cron:install  
bin/magento cron:run
```

- The first command schedules the cron job.
- The second triggers it for the first time.

### **Configuring the plugin**

1. **Accessing Holnix:** Once enabled, a new “Holnix” option will appear in the admin panel’s navigation menu.
2. **Entering the API Key:** The first time you access Holnix, you will be prompted to enter the API Key received by email. Click “Save” once entered.
