Magento: The 'community' channel is not installed

Question

I was trying to install a made-by-myself extension, but it return this error:

CONNECT ERROR: The 'community' channel is not installed. Please use the MAGE shell script to install the 'community' channel.

I had my friend install the extension on her magento and it worked, so the problem must come from my magento. How to resolve this? Please note that my magento is installed on window localhost.

Answer 1

Try to use following command via SSH on Magento root:

./mage mage-setup

Answer 2

Try to use from your terminal or shell scripting: chmod -R mage ./mage mage-setup
