Do a backup of your Magento installation for safety reasons. 2. Disable Magento compilation feature (if activated): *System > Tools > Compiler* 3. Unzip the setup package and copy the contents of the `src/` folder into the Magento root folder. (The folder structure is the same as in your Magento installation. No files will be overwritten.)

Logout from the admin panel and then login again 6.
