Thank you for GIF. Weirdly I don't see the install button, I have purchased the plugin license and can see it at https://id.craftcms.com/licenses/plugins/15576 although it says Craft License Not attached to a CMS license.

As per the GIF you provided, i think it's normal, just click on the TRY button first, it will install the plugin, once installed to your website, you can add the key. ( to add the key just go to your-website/admin/settings/plugins and add the purchased key)

@Faraz It's saying permission denied means folder and files of your site don't have the proper permission. First try to go back to the previous page in new url and check if the plugin is installed or not. If not then you need to correct the permission. Even a non developer can do , just need terminal.

thanks. The plugin not installed and I am not able to try it either so guess the permission is not set. I am not able to comprehend what files or folders and what permission it needs hence I am not able to search for steps. I would really appreciate any help, what do I need to change via terminal - I have access to the server via SSH

The problem is I can't see an install button - I have admin privileges. I went into the Plugin store and searched for the plugin - I see only the Checkout button but no intsall.

You need to click ‘try’, this will install as trial. You can then add license key as above.

This will need to be something you do on your web server, so yes if you're not comfortable with that then I would get a developer involved.

Dependent on where your site is hosted they will probably be a guide available, if not it might be something they'd do for you. If you want to have a go yourself you need to look into 'chmod', ie. chmod composer.json 744

We already have other plugins installed earlier by the dev (not with us anymore) so I presume the plugins folder exists. I can access the server via SSH, is there a way to install the plugin that way?

Hey  inrsaurabh, I finally got help from a developer since I couldn't figure it out. Thank you so much, I gave him the links you had provided and it was done very quickly. I am not able to try the plugin and then add the license that I had purchased.
