  1. Preparation: Before starting the installation, ensure your Magento website meets the extension's requirements, such as the Magento version and PHP compatibility. Backing up your website is also highly recommended to prevent any data loss.

  5. Configuration: After installation, log into your Magento Admin Panel. Navigate to the extension settings under Stores > Configuration > Insights Ready > Power BI Integration. Here, you'll enter the required configuration details such as your Power BI account information, API keys, and other settings specific to your business needs.

  6. Verify the Installation: Ensure the extension is working correctly by checking for any new menus or options related to Power BI in your Magento admin panel. Attempt to connect to Power BI using the configured settings to verify connectivity.
