Hi,

There are three main possibilities:
- You are using the zip file but you have an upload limitation on your server which is set to 2MB
- You are using the tar.gz file but unfortunately your server does not handle this archive type.
- You have a write permission error.

At this moment you can try the other archive type (that you can download in the "your subscription" page).
You can also you the installation by FTP as describe in our documentation.

It means that the folder path that you entered in the directory field of the installer is not correct. Please make sure that you enter the full absolute path of the folder where you uploaded the files of the package and it will work.
