Installing the RTE
==================
The latest version can be installed via `TER`_ or via composer by running
.. code-block:: bash
composer require friendsoftypo3/rtehtmlarea
in a TYPO3 v8 installation.
.. _TER: https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/rtehtmlarea
Installing the extension prior to TYPO3 v8
------------------------------------------
The extension is a system extension and is installed by default when
TYPO3 is installed.
Use the Extension Manager to un-install/re-install the extension.
The extension may be installed as a system, global or local extension.
If you plan to use the spell checking feature, you should install
extension Static Info Tables (static\_info\_tables). The spell checker
feature requires `GNU Aspell 0.60+ `_ to be
installed on the server.
Custom elements presented by the User Elements feature may be
maintained with extension `Custom Tags
`_
(extension key: de\_custom\_tags).
Upon installation directory uploads/tx\_rtehtmlarea will be created.
Personal dictionaries are stored in subdirectories of this directory.
