Magento Connect Error: Community Channel Not Installed

Question

I have an extension when I try to install it in the connection manager on my localhost ... I get this error

CONNECT ERROR: The 'community' channel is not installed. Please use the MAGE shell script to install the 'community' channel. 

I have read something. The official solution to this is to run the Magento SSH configuration command:

 chmod 755 mage ./mage mage-setup 

But I am confused how to use SSH on localhost on windows platform

Please imagine what solution for this error Magento connect

Thanks!

Answer 1

Right command (pay attention to the end point)

 ./mage mage-setup . 

Answer 2

Just save the settings in the Magento Connect manager (see / downloader / route in the Magento instance - http://yoursite.com/downloader/ ). Works for me in version 1.5.1.0.

Answer 3

Has a batch file that may provide some help.

I would recommend you study Virtualization with Linux installation, since Magento is really more focused on Linux environments than on WAMP packages.

Answer 4

Note:

Make sure when creating the package extension file what value you specified in the channel column in the Package Info section.

Decision. The channel value must be community .

You can check this value in var/connect/your_package.tgz/package.xml .

It should look like this:

 <channel>community</channel> 

thanks
