# Installation {#installation}

Target group: **Administrators**

-   [Composer mode](#composer-mode)
-   [Legacy mode](#legacy-mode)

## Composer mode {#installation-composer}

If your TYPO3 installation uses Composer, install the latest release of this
extension through:

```bash
composer require jweiland/maps2
```

If you are not using the latest version, you need to
add a version constraint, for example:

```bash
composer require jweiland/maps2:"^9.3"
```

### Installing the extension prior to TYPO3 11.4 {#installing-the-extension-prior-to-typo3-11-4}

Before TYPO3 11.4 it was still necessary to manually activate extensions
installed via Composer using the Extension Manager. Activate it as follows:

-   Navigate to **Admin Tools > Extensions > Installed Extensions**
-   Search for `maps2`
-   Activate the extension by clicking on the **Activate** button in the
    **A/D** column

## Legacy mode {#installation-legacy}

If you are working with a TYPO3 installation that does not use Composer, install
the extension in the Extension Manager:

-   Navigate to **Admin Tools > Extensions > Get Extensions**.
-   Click on **Update now**
-   Search for `maps2`
-   Click **Import and install** on the side of the extension entry

and activate it:

-   Navigate to **Admin Tools > Extensions > Installed Extensions**
-   Search for `maps2`
-   Activate the extension by clicking on the **Activate** button in the

**A/D** column

**Next step**

Please edit ExtensionManager configuration of maps2 to decide, if you will use
Google Maps or OpenStreetMap as your default rendering service:
