How to install a large sized component into Joomla 3

-
Normal way is to download the component folder into your computer and install using 'Extensions' => 'Extension Manager' = > Choose your File => upload & Install (button).

If the size of your component is too large, you may end up with a blank screen. This happens typically if you are trying to install a .gtz compressed folder or .tar compressed folder. For example this problem can come while you try to install sobipro component.

There is an easy way to overcome this problem.

1. You can upzip (extract) this .gtz or .tar folder into your computer. You can use 7zip for free for this purpose. (http://www.7-zip.org/)

Extract the files into a folder ( name it 'component' )


Now you have all your files and folders of your joomla component into the folder named 'component' in your computer.

2. Use favorite FTP programme ( Filezilla is a free ftp programme - https://filezilla-project.org/ )
Create a folder in your server along with other files and folders of Joomla and name it 'component'. (There is a 'components' folder already in your server).


3. Now, upload all files and folders from your 'component' folder in your computer to 'component' folder in the server


4. Go to the administration panel of your joomla website. Go to Extensions=> Extension Manager. Select 'Install from directory'. Give the folder name 'component' in the path. Then press 'install' button at the bottom. 

Cool!
