- If you are able to do so, we recommend using git to clone the source repository rather than to use a packaged tar or zip file. This makes the software much easier to update. The Linux command to clone the repository into a directory "mywebsite" would be
- `git clone https://github.com/friendika/Free-Friendika.git mywebsite`
-
- and then you can pick up the latest changes at any time with
-
- `git pull`
-
+ `git clone https://github.com/friendika/Free-Friendika.git mywebsite`
+
+ - and then you can pick up the latest changes at any time with
+
+ `git pull`
+
+ - For installing addons
+
+ - First you should be **on** your website folder
+
+ `cd mywebsite`
+
+ - Then you should clone the addon repository (separtely)
+
+ `git clone https://github.com/friendika/friendika-addons.git addon`
+
+ - For keeping the addon tree updated, you should be on you addon tree and issue a git pull
+
+ `cd mywebsite/addon`
+
+ `git pull`
+
- If you copy the directory tree to your webserver, make sure
that you also copy .htaccess - as "dot" files are often hidden
and aren't normally copied.
