This page is dedicated to problems with Package Management, specifically with downloading and installing packages.

archiveTo/extractTo errors¶
If you've downloaded a package, but are getting 'archiveTo'-related errors or a "Package Not Found" error after downloading, make sure you're running at least Revolution 2.0.1, and then go to System Settings and set the archive_with setting to "Yes", or 1.
This will force MODX to use PCLZip instead of ZipArchive, as your environment most likely has a broken ZipArchive configuration or version that is causing the error:
