This tutorial shows you how to deploy and enable a module. A module is a package that you deploy on a Jahia platform to extend or modify the platform. Modules act like plug-ins. To make a module available to your system, you:
Deploy it on your server
Enable it for your websites
If necessary, perform additional configuration specific to the module
You deploy and enable modules in Jahia.
After completing the tutorial you will be able to enable and deploy any module in Jahia. In the example in this tutorial, you deploy and enable the Content Reports module. The Content Reports module provides reports that you can use to monitor and troubleshoot content on your sites. For example, you can run reports to show pages that have untranslated content, are missing titles, or are marked as work in progress.
You deploy a module by adding the module's JAR file to Jahia. You can get JAR file for a module by:
Searching for the module in Jahia in the Administration page
Downloading it from the Jahia AppStore. After downloading the module, you upload it in Jahia or copy the module to the digital-factory-data/modules directory on your server.
To deploy your module from Jahia:
On the server on which Jahia is running, choose Administration>Server>Modules and Extentions>Modules.
On the Modules page, click Available modules and enter Content as search criteria in the search box.
Click the content reports module to view more information about the module, including:
Note: The modules list also includes packages, which contain multiple modules. When you deploy a package, you deploy the modules contained in the package. For example, the jExperience - Enterprise Distribution package includes the modules necessary to run jExperience.
When you view information about a package, modules display under Embedded modules.
A description of the module.
Dependencies or the other modules required by this module.
Dependants of the module. Use this information to decide which modules you may want to install next.
Specific install information for the module. Install information is either included on the page or links are provided to install topics in the documentation.
To start the module automatically after downloading it, select Start modules automatically after download.
Select the package and click the Download arrow beside Content Reports (content-reports) in the Download column. A message indicates that the modules was uploaded and started.
Click Installed modules tab to view the status of the module. Use the Search box to locate the module that you deployed, as shown in the following image. For each module, you can view the version number, whether the module is stopped or started, and whether the module has been enabled for any sites.
You can stop a module by clicking the Stop button , and then start it using the Start button or remove it from Jahia by stopping it and then clicking the Undeploy button .
Next, enable the module for specific websites.
Enabling your module
After deploying the module, you enable it for specific websites to make content reports available to those sites.
To enable the module:
In Jahia, choose Administration>Server>Modules & Extentions>Modules.
On the Modules page, click Installed modules and enter search criteria to locate the module, as shown in the following example.
In the Status column, click on the module version number and status. The Content Reports page opens.
In Usage in sites, move the slider to Enabled for each site that you want to enable the module for.
Content reports are now available in Administration>jContent>Additional>Content Reports.
What you have learned
This tutorial showed you how to deploy and enable a module for your sites.
In some cases, you may need to perform additional configuration to use the module. For example, when you deploy and enable the jExperience Core module, you also install additional modules and install and configure jCustomer and Elasticsearch.
, and then start it using the Start button 
or remove it from Jahia by stopping it and then clicking the Undeploy button 
.
