You have two possible ways

#1: Please remove the app/code/extensionsuppliername/extensionname then add composer the composer entry and run the composer update, setup:upgrade

Note: If you go with #1 After removal of app/code/extensionsuppliername/extensionname, please run setup:upgrade. If no issues found then it will be fine.

#2: Download the module from zip and replace it in app/code/extensionsuppliername

  • unfortunately, 1 is not working so I will go with 2 but then I will need the zip from mageworx Commented Sep 12, 2019 at 8:44
  • Yup, you should need zip. @SylvainMichel Commented Sep 13, 2019 at 6:06

I believe that is a normal scenario the plugin you are trying to install should have the folder structure, so it should automatically place it in app/code.

If you are trying to install it by hand you can always look inside a controller to see what the path should have been and build the route accordingly.

This seems like a good explanation of what I am trying to say : https://magently.com/blog/magento-2-the-right-way-to-install-external-modules/

    in composer, case is mostly in vendor/ instead of app/code for the whole code as they tell on the link :( and this is an update of an extension which is already override via app/code Commented Sep 12, 2019 at 8:46
  • In that case you will indeed have to do it by hand I'm afraid. Let me know if you need more help! Commented Sep 12, 2019 at 9:02

You could achieve this by modifying the composer.json configuration file, more info here.
