# Installing Nicolium as Pleroma/Akkoma frontend
## Installation in instance static directory
The most straightforward way to install Nicolium 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://web.nicolium.app/release.zip
unzip release.zip -d /opt/pleroma/instance/static/
rm release.zip
```
## Installation via Pleroma/Akkoma frontend management
It is also possible to use the Pleroma/Akkoma frontend management tool. You can find more information about it in the [Pleroma documentation](https://docs.pleroma.social/backend/administration/frontends-management/). You can use either the PleromaFE built-in admin dashboard or the older AdminFE to install Nicolium and set it as the server frontend. You don't have to provide any URL. It's right there in Pleroma/Akkoma (under the name `pl-fe`).
To install it from CLI, use:
### OTP
```bash
./bin/pleroma_ctl frontend install nicolium --ref release --build-url https://web.nicolium.app/release.zip --build-dir .
```
### From Source
```bash
mix pleroma.frontend install nicolium --ref release --build-url https://web.nicolium.app/release.zip --build-dir .
```
It is now possible to set Nicolium as the primary frontend in the configuration file or via AdminFE:
```elixir
config :pleroma, :frontends,
primary: %{
"name" => "nicolium", # Use `pl-fe` if you installed it via Pleroma/Akkoma dashboard
"ref" => "release"
},
...
```
On Akkoma, it is also possible for individual users to select their preferred frontend to Nicolium by visiting `/akkoma/frontend` page on their Akkoma instance.
