Cannot find the 'Install from Web' tab

Post by DarKMaSk » Sat Feb 15, 2025 1:25 pm

Hello friends. After a long time I came back to Joomla to build my personal website and I installed it locally. I last used Joomla 3, so the new Joomla 5 is a bit overwhelming to me. I am still getting lost inside the Administration Panel. Earlier I used to use 'Install from Web' tab to install extensions directly from Joomla Extensions Directory. But now I couldn't find it. Can anyone help me on this?

The plugin the earlier posts refer to is "Installer - Install from Web".

As the user ManuelVoileux mentioned, you can find the tab "Install from Web" in the screen "Extensions: Install".

The navigation to this screen is System -> Install -> Extensions.
