To install an extension in production mode

[bablupali]

Hello,

I have a question.

I have developed my site using Magento 2.1.11.

During development, I had installed the theme, extensions etc in default mode.

When the site was ready,  I changed the mode to Production.

Now, my question is, If I want to install an extension, Is it OK to install it in Production mode or should I change the mode. I know that in developer mode errors are shown in browser, in Production mode it is not. I just want to know that Is it OK to use Production mode to install extensions etc.

Thanks

It is perfectly alright.

Once you install (read copy) your extension run these commands:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

php bin/magento deploy:mode:set production

and you should be good to go.
