Enable or disable a component

After you have built the component and are ready to enable it in your environment, do the following:

1. Disable the cache under System->Cache Management.

2. Enter the following in the command line:

   Copy
   bin/magento module:enable --clear-static-content Component_Name
   Copied to your clipboard
   bin/magento module:enable --clear-static-content Component_Name

   Copy
   bin/magento setup:upgrade
   Copied to your clipboard
   bin/magento setup:upgrade

   Copy
   bin/magento cache:clean
   Copied to your clipboard
   bin/magento cache:clean

   Where Component_Name is the name of the component you are enabling.

3. Check that the component is enabled:

   Copy
   bin/magento module:status <extension-name>
   Copied to your clipboard
   bin/magento module:status <extension-name>

   An extension name uses the format: <VendorName>_<ComponentName>.

   Sample response:

   Copy
   Module is enabled
   Copied to your clipboard
   Module is enabled
