Installation¶
This extension assumes that your TYPO3 CMS installation uses CKEditor as text editor. Please make sure that CKEditor is installed and working properly.
Since CKEditor is the default text editor since TYPO3 CMS v8, the extension should work out-of-the-box for most TYPO3 CMS installations.

The recommended way to install the extension is using Composer.
Simply run the following command in the root directory of your TYPO3 CMS project:
