# Installation

The extension has to be installed like any other TYPO3 CMS extension. You can
download and install it using one of the following methods.

**Composer**

**Install the stable release**

```bash
composer require 'fgtclb/academic-partners':'^2'
```

> [!TIP]
> We recommend to pin academic extensions on minor level to mitigate
> possible issues in projects in case `composer update` is used based
> on the fact that projects commonly tends to override fluid templates
> and changes for otherwise non-breaking changes are possible promoted
> to be breaking in case template changes are not adopted why it has
> been considered to mark template changes as breaking changes on
> minor version updates. That means, we suggest to use for example
> following command to ensure that we stay in the minor version range
> but have the hightest patchlevel enforced for it and keep possible
> bugfix releases for that minor version possible to install:
>
> ```bash
> composer require 'fgtclb/academic-partners':'~2.3.1@dev'
> ```
