Answers.Body: <p>It sounds like an incomplete install. You might need to run <code>composer install</code> from inside the <code>ext/org.wikimedia.geocode</code> folder.</p>
  <p>But you don't need the extension if you just want to use basic geocoding in civicrm, you just need to set it up at administer - system settings - mapping and geocoding. The extension just adds more features.</p>
  <p>UPDATE: It seems like the download version of the extension <em>was</em> an incomplete install. A new version is now available.</p>

Title: Geocoding error on fresh Wordpress Install
ThreadText: # Geocoding error on fresh Wordpress Install
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-07-07)
  
  I have a fresh install of CiviCRM (5.27) running on a Google Cloud Server Debian buster.
  
  System is fully updated WordPress is 5.4.2
  
  I wish to use Geocoding and of course noticed it is not in the searchable list of extensions.
  
  I went to the download page and see that it says 5.26 - the documentation here leads me to believe that means "at least 5.26" so 5.27 should (in my mind - and correct me if I am wrong) be ok.
  
  I put the zip file in the ext directory and changed the ownership to www-data:www-data and unzipped.
  
  I refreshed extensions loader and saw it there and pressed install and then got a blank screen (civicrm themed so not a WP error) saying my wordpress install had a critical error.
  
  Refreshing the page still shows the option to install and everything else works.
  
  I hope I have given sufficient detail and am prepared to do any level of debugging.
  
  I did not wish to try anything in case anyone wishes to see this error pristine (I did try install one second time).
  
  Thank you,
  
  Karl

  It sounds like an incomplete install. You might need to run `composer install` from inside the `ext/org.wikimedia.geocode` folder.
  
  But you don't need the extension if you just want to use basic geocoding in civicrm, you just need to set it up at administer - system settings - mapping and geocoding. The extension just adds more features.
  
  UPDATE: It seems like the download version of the extension *was* an incomplete install. A new version is now available.
