# Installation and upgrade

## Requirements

Version | Nextcloud | PHP | Other
--- | --- | --- | ---
3.x | >= 25 | PHP >= 8.0 | App `theming` enabled
2.x | < 25 | PHP >= 7.1 | App `theming` enabled

## How to

Custom menu is available from the app store.

    cd /path/to/nextcloud
    php occ app:install side_menu

If you want to install it from source, go to https://gitnet.fr/deblan/side_menu/releases and copy the link to the last release (side_menu_vX.Y.Z.tar.gz). Then:

    cd /path/to/nextcloud/apps
    curl -sS https://gitnet.fr/attachments/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx | tar xvfz -

Administrators can edit many settings using the administration page.

Users can disable the menu using the page of personal settings.

### Use first top menu app as default app

You can easily let Custom Menu redirect to the first app in the top menu by changing the following parameter in your `config/config.php`:

    'defaultapp' => 'side_menu',

If the top menu is empty then it redirects to files.
