Joomla does not restrict file upload size for extension installation. You need to increase the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size PHP variables.

You can do this via cPanel -> Select PHP Version -> Options if you are using cPanel or you may be able to edit the php.ini file in the root folder of your website eg /public_html/php.ini as follows:

upload_max_filesize = 128M
post_max_size = 128M
