To install the CreSecure Hosted Payment Page module:

The distribution package is archived in the file cre_secure_hpp-x.y.z.tgz, where x, y and z indicate the version of the module. Make sure the version of the module matches the version of your copy of X-Cart.

2. Copy the distribution package to the X-Cart root directory on your server or hosting account.

• If you use a Windows-based server or a UNIX-based server without terminal access:

a) Extract the contents of the archive with the CreSecure Hosted Payment Page module files to a directory on your system using your favorite compression program (WinZIP or any other archiver that supports TAR files).

b) Use aт FTP client to upload all the files extracted from the archive (retaining the directory structure) to the X-Cart root directory on your server or hosting account.
