Is it possible to install Magento 2 extensions on localhost?
I currently have the latest version 2.2.3 on Windows 10 using XAMPP but when trying to install an extension, it fails due to cron job not running.

yes, you can install in localhost. What is the error?? Which extension do you want to install.– BornCoderApr 12, 2018 at 15:53

@BornCoder it is an extension called 'Slider' which is free: marketplace.magento.com/sy-slider.html - the errors are: i.cubeupload.com/WPGYxN.png - could I manually install it?– cz84Apr 16, 2018 at 12:51

If you want to install this extension manually, follow instructions on their GitHub page : Slider-M2. 2 choices : with composer or by download and copy– cap340Apr 17, 2018 at 2:40

You don't need CronJob to install your extensions in local. (there is no cron on Windows OS anyway).
If you really need a working CronJob, you have to use the Windows Task Scheduler.

I've replied to 'BornCoder' above on this issue, it looks like the cron job is stopping it.. if I had PHP errors as the screenshot suggests, surely I wouldn't of been able to install Magento 2 in the first place...– cz84Apr 16, 2018 at 12:56
