Manual:Extensions#Installing an extension

If you don't have access to SSH you can download the extension, unpack it and upload the self named folder (usually inside the zip folder) into the "extensions" directory using FTP. Then you visit the extensions page and follow the instructions for what to add to you LocalSettings.php file. BUT be careful because flow can temporarily down your site if it the prerequisites are missing when you enable it in LocalSettings.php (removing or commenting out the line to activiate flow in LocalSettings can often get your site back up by disabling it again). It also requires mw-update to be run which causes changes to the database. If anything goes wrong it can mess up your database. You should always back up your database before installing extensions that make database changes in case anything goes wrong because without that it is unrecoverable (you might already know this).

Flow's prerequisites also need to be installed before trying to run flow. And FLOW does NOT appear to be compatible with Mediawiki 1.34.0 or 1.34.1 as it says it is, ssh in both versions spits out an error saying that it is only compatible with the next (not stable) version 1.35, though it works with 1.32 and 1.33.
