## Installation

First install MediaWiki and Wikibase Repository.

**Using Composer (option 1/2)**

The recommended way to install Wikibase Local Media is using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) with
[MediaWiki's built-in support for Composer](https://professional.wiki/en/articles/installing-mediawiki-extensions-with-composer).

On the commandline, go to your wikis root directory. Then run these two commands:

```shell script
COMPOSER=composer.local.json composer require --no-update professional-wiki/wikibase-local-media:*
composer update professional-wiki/wikibase-local-media --no-dev -o
```

**Manual download (option 2/2)**

You can also install the extension via git clone or download. Place the `WikibaseLocalMedia` directory into `extensions`.

**Enabling the extension**

Then enable the extension by adding the following to the bottom of your wikis `LocalSettings.php` file:

```php
wfLoadExtension( 'WikibaseLocalMedia' );
```

You can verify the extension was enabled successfully by opening your wikis Special:Version page in your browser.

Finally, please consider [sponsoring the project].
