# Installation

For the plugin installation you need to pick a path on your web server where the talque plugin will be located. For example, users could load the plugin by going to, `https://my-server.com/talque-plugin`. In this example the plugin path would be `talque-plugin`. You can choose the path arbitrarily for your installation, but it must match the base href setting (see below).

### Hosting as static files

In the simplest case, you just host a set of static files under that path. That is, on your web server

1. Create a subdirectory (for example `talque-plugin`) on your web server.
2. Unzip the content of `talque-plugin-LATEST.zip` into that subdirectory, so that the `index.html` file is at the root of your subdirectory.
3. Edit the `<base href="/talque-plugin/">` tag in the `index.html` file to match[ your directory name](/public/talque-plugin/configuration.md#base-href-tag).
4. You should now be able to see the plugin by opening `https://my-server.com/talque-plugin`.
5. [Edit the org-id and config-id](/public/talque-plugin/configuration.md#content-ids) in the index.html to match your network.
6. [Add your own menu header](/public/talque-plugin/configuration.md#custom-menu-header) on top in the index.html file.

### Hosting via a Content Management System

In this case, also download the assets and make sure they are served as static files. You can generate the `index.html` file via your backend, just copy the meta, base, script, and style tags from our template. Then place the `<rli-tq-plugin-root>` tag at the appropriate place in your page layout.

Note:

* Copying the `<meta>` tags is optional but recommended
* The `<base href="...">` [tag must match](/public/talque-plugin/configuration.md#base-href-tag) the serving url
* The multiple `<script>` tags have cache-bursting identifiers, copy them as is.
* Copy the `<style>` tag as is
* Attach [the org id and config id for your network](/public/talque-plugin/configuration.md#content-ids) to the `<rli-tq-plugin-root>` tag
* The talque plugin needs to cover most of the screen and there should not be a scrollbar. We recommend a flexbox layout where you provide a fixed-height custom header, and the talque plugin is placed below (with flexbox settings so that the plugin grows or shrinks to fill the available space).
* We use and include  <https://tailwindcss.com/>, so you can use their utility classes for alignment.
* For styling your [own header / menu](/public/talque-plugin/configuration.md#custom-menu-header) either also use tailwindcss or scope your css to only apply to the header and not to the rest of the page.
