I am trying to install an extension for my Magento store. My version of is
Magento ver. 2.1.15. Now when i install the extension, it is not visible at Stores->Configuration->Advanced->Advanced

This is the steps i followed to install the extension

 1.Extracted my extension folder into my root            

 2.php bin/magento setup:upgrade

 3.php bin/magento setup:di:compile

 4.php bin/magento cache:clean

But i still cannot find the extension in my store. What could be causing this as i am not seeing any error anywhere ?

PS: I just started working on Magento.

I'm only asking because you explicitly said:

PS: I just started working on Magento.

Did you extract your module to magentoroot/app/code/Vendor/Module (where it belongs) or to the magento root?

If it is under magentoroot/app/code/Vendor/Module check if your module is registered properly.

bin/magento module:status

If your module does not show up (enabled or disabled) you are missing some boilerplate file, namely registration.php in /Vendor/Module/ or module.xml in /Vendor/Module/etc folder.

If it shows up under disabled modules use bin/magento module:enable Vendor_Module and run

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

php bin/magento setup:di:compile

php bin/magento cache:clean

afterwards.
