Create a directory in the base directory of your ~friendica installation called `addon` and extract the addon archive files found in the [addon repository of ~friendica](https://github.com/friendica/friendica-addons) into that directory. You can also clone the friendica-addon repository into the addon directory instead if creating it and unpack the archives manually using `git clone https://github.com/friendica/friendica-addons addon`.
## Configuration ##
To select and configure the addons used on your ~friendica server you can either use the [admin panel](admin panel) or configure them in the [.htconfig.php](htconfig) file.
### Configuration by hand ###
To enable an addon using the .htconfig.php file search for the line containing `$a->config['system']['addon']` (or add it to the file) and add the name of the addon to the list of enabled addons. An example could look like this:
`$a->config['system']['addon'] = 'piwik, twitter, statusnet';`
You should add the needed configuration variables for the addons according to the documentation of the addons.
### Configuration using the Admin panel ###
If you log into the admin account and select the [admin panel](admin panel) from the menu you will find a submenu `plugins` with a list of the available addons. From there you can enable or disable any of the listed addons.
If an activated addon offers a configuration interface through the admin panel a link in the side menu for that addon will appear so you can reach the interface.
#### Facebook Connector ####
The Facebook connector does not provide a configuration interface from the admin panel yet, please see the [setup guide](https://github.com/friendica/friendica-addons/tree/master/facebook) for installation instructions.
