Installing extensions

Solidus extensions are gems that change or extend Solidus's functionality. Many Solidus extensions can be installed in a few simple steps:

1. Add the extension gem to your project's Gemfile.
2. Run bundle install to install the gem and its dependencies.
3. Run any Rails generators required by the gem. This should be mentioned in the extension's documentation.

For example, the solidus_related_products extension provides a generic way to define relationships between your store's products by using RelationTypes. The extension's documentation clearly lays out the installation process: add the solidus_related_products gem to your Gemfile, then run bundle install and bundle exec rails generate solidus_related_products:install.

Some extensions require other custom configuration before they can be initialized.

We strongly recommend reading the extension's documentation before attempting to run it in a production environment.
