The SmithCart module is delivered as a standard DNN installable zip or PA (Private Assembly). You install the SmithCart just like you would install any other DNN module. Before installing any module it’s a good idea to back up your DNN database and DNN installation folder. This is very important, as you can always roll back to previous status easily if installation goes wrong.
Step 1 - Log in to your DNN site using a Host account. From the DNN host menu, select Extensions to install the module. In order to do that, you should login as host, or an administrator account with module upload permissions.
