Install the accessiBe extension, accessWidget on your Adobe Commerce (formerly Magento) store to make it accessible for everyone. 

To install accessWidget on an Adobe Commerce store

1. In the Adobe Commerce Marketplace, search for accessibe and select Add to cart.
2. Install the accessiBe Magento extension using one of the following two methods, each designed to accommodate different user preferences and environments. 
   • Install the extension using Composer
   • Install the extension via manual zip extraction
3. Once you have installed the extension, activate accessWidget on your site.

Install the extension using Composer

Composer installation is the recommended method if you are comfortable with command-line operations and looking for a streamlined process that integrates well with Magento’s dependency management. 

To install the accessWidget extension using Composer

1. Navigate to your Magento root directory via terminal. 
2. Run the following command to require the extension: 
   composer require accessibe/accesswidget 
3. Enable the extension: 
   php bin/magento module:enable Accessibe_AccessWidget 
4. Update the Magento database schema: 
   php bin/magento setup:upgrade 
5. Compile and deploy static content (necessary for production mode): 
   php bin/magento setup:di:compile 
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f 
6. Clear the cache to ensure changes are visible: 
   php bin/magento cache:flush

Install the extension via manual zip extraction

This method is suited for users who prefer a manual approach or have restrictions preventing using Composer.

To install the accessWidget extension via manual zip extraction

1. Download the extension zip file. 
2. Extract the contents to the Adobe Commerce directory app/code/Accessibe/AccessWidget. 
3. Enable the extension: 
   php bin/magento module:enable Accessibe_AccessWidget 
4. Update the Magento database schema: 
   php bin/magento setup:upgrade 
5. Compile and deploy static content (for production mode): 
   php bin/magento setup:di:compile php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f 
6. Clear the cache: 
   php bin/magento cache:flush 

Note: It is crucial after any installation or upgrade to flush Magento cache and deploy static content. This practice guarantees that all changes take immediate effect and that the site runs optimally.
