# Installing pl-fe as Pleroma/Akkoma frontend
## Installation in instance static directory
The most straightforward way to install `pl-fe` as a frontend for Pleroma or Akkoma is to simply download it and place its files in the `/instance/static` directory of your Pleroma/Akkoma installation (usually `/opt/pleroma/instance/static` or `/opt/akkoma/instance/static`, accordingly).
```bash
curl -O https://pl.mkljczk.pl/pl-fe.zip
unzip pl-fe.zip -d /opt/pleroma/instance/static/
rm pl-fe.zip
```
## Installation via Pleroma/Akkoma frontend management
It is also possible to use the Pleroma frontend management tool. You can find more information about it in the [Pleroma documentation](https://docs.pleroma.social/backend/administration/frontends-management/). On Pleroma, you can use either the PleromaFE built-in admin dashboard or the older AdminFE to install `pl-fe` and set it as the server frontend. You don't have to provide any URL. It's right there in Pleroma.
On Akkoma, however, there is no `pl-fe` in the default available frontends list ([yet?](https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma/pulls/945)). You can still install it, but you need to explicitly provide the URL to `pl-fe`. To install it from CLI, use:
### OTP
```bash
./bin/pleroma_ctl frontend install pl-fe --ref develop --build-url https://pl.mkljczk.pl/pl-fe.zip --build-dir .
```
### From Source
```bash
mix pleroma.frontend install pl-fe --ref develop --build-url https://pl.mkljczk.pl/pl-fe.zip --build-dir .
```
It is now possible to set `pl-fe` as the primary frontend in the configuration file or via AdminFE:
```elixir
config :pleroma, :frontends,
primary: %{
"name" => "pl-fe",
"ref" => "develop"
},
...
```
On Akkoma, it is also possible for individual users to select their preferred frontend to `pl-fe` by visiting `/akkoma/frontend` page on their Akkoma instance.
