Answers.Text: You can enable the extension directly via the extensions menu, assuming your site is setup to allow it. https://docs.civicrm.org/sysadmin/en/latest/customize/extensions/
  Using direct sql on your database isn't an option with the CiviCRM UI but usually is an option from your host (typically using phpmyadmin, but there are other possibilities as well).

  The error is likely misleading. You'll find more details in your CiviCRM error log (and/or perhaps your CMS error log). The CiviCRM Log Viewer extension is the simplest way to see those.
  It's likely that these old events have some configuration that is blowing up when you resave them with the end date.
  Since you just want to hide them, your simplest course of action is to set an end date directly using sql, e.g. with something like:
  UPDATE civicrm_event SET end_date = start_date where isnull(end_date) and start_date < '2013-01-01'
