bin/magento module:enable amasty/module-ExtensionName-hyva-compatibility

Replace "ExtensionName" with the module you have installed for Hyvä compatibility. For example, if you have installed the Stock Status module, the command will be:

bin/magento module:enable amasty/module-stockstatus-hyva-compatibility

Step 4: Update the Magento Database Schema and Data

After enabling the Hyvä modules, update the Magento database schema and data with the command:

bin/magento setup:upgrade

bin/magento hyva:config:generate -f 

Step 5: Installation [Deploy]

Deploy the static view files by running the following commands:

rm -rf pub/static/* var/view_preprocessed/*

php -f bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
