Installation

To install extension start with the following in magento root directory to add repository:

composer config repositories.webscale-networks-api git https://github.com/webscale-networks/magento-varnish-api.git

To avoid issues with CI/CD and github add "no-api": true to the repo settings, so it looks like this:

"webscale-networks-api": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/webscale-networks/magento-varnish-api.git",
    "no-api": true
}

Now require extension itself:

composer require webscale-networks/magento-varnish-api

After composer installs the package run next Magento commands:

php bin/magento module:enable Webscale_Varnish

bin/magento cache:clean
