I have packaged a extension when i try to install it form connect manager on my localhost... i am getting this error

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

I have read some where that The official solution to this is to run the Magento setup-command over SSH:

chmod 755 mage
./mage mage-setup

But i am confused how i use SSH on localhost on windows platform

Please Suggest whats the solution for this Magento connect error

Thanks !!

Right command is (note the final dot)

./mage mage-setup .

  • Does not work: Running initial setup... Success Success Error: channel-add: Channel 'community' already exist! – Tim Wachter Jan 15 '14 at 14:09
  • it meas `'community' already exist!` so you don't need to do it. Is it your error the same in the above question: `CONNECT ERROR: The 'community' channel is not installed. ... ` ? If no, please open another question – WonderLand Jan 17 '14 at 08:37
  • You are right, I screwed up. In my extension config I set the entire URL as the channel, not just "community" – Tim Wachter Jan 17 '14 at 09:15

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

  • Doesn't work for me so the 'just save the settings' should be removed as a solution. I would say something like 'For me, doing this and that worked' – tommyalvarez Apr 29 '19 at 23:24

Note:

Please check if when creating the package extension file what value you entered in channel column under Package Info Section.

Solution: The channel value must be community.

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

This should look like:

<channel>community</channel>

Thanks

Has a batch file that may offer some help.

I would recommend you look into Virtualization with a Linux installation as Magento is really geared more for Linux environments than WAMP stacks.
