.. attention::

   When you install the `rd_comments` extension via Composer,
   the required `EXT:news` extension will be automatically installed if it's not already present in your project.

In a :ref:`composer-based TYPO3 installation <t3start:install>` you can install
the extension `rd_comments` via composer:

.. code-block:: bash

   composer require remotedevs/rd-comments

In TYPO3 installations above version 11.5, the extension will be automatically
installed. You do not have to activate it manually.

Update the database schema
--------------------------

Open your TYPO3 backend with :ref:`system maintainer` permissions.

In the module menu to the left, navigate to :guilabel:`Admin Tools > Maintenance`,
then click on :guilabel:`Analyze database` and apply all suggested changes.

conveniently clear all caches by clicking the button :guilabel:`Flush cache`.
