Installation
The recommended way to install this extension is using Composer with MediaWiki's built-in support for Composer.

If you have not yet installed Composer do it now by running the following command in your shell: As of September 2020 that version is the beta, which is incompatible with at least some MediaWiki installations. The stable version is at getcomposer.org/download. If you do not have a "composer.local.json" file yet, create one and add the following content to it:
 * Step 1
 * Step 2

If you already have a "composer.local.json" file add the following line to the end of the "require" section in your file: Remember to add a comma to the end of the preceding line in this section.

Run the following command in your shell: Note if you have Git installed on your system add the --prefer-source flag to the above command. Also note that it may be necessary to run this command twice. If unsure do it twice right away.
 * Step 3

Add the following line to the end of your "LocalSettings.php" file:
 * Step 4


 * Verify installation success
