Installation and upgrade
========================

Custom menu is available from the [app store](https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/side_menu).

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


```bash
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`:

```php-inline
'defaultapp' => 'side_menu',
```

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