#Installation

Site Essentials for Statamic may be installed using composer by running the following command from the root of your project:

1composer require stillat/statamic-site-essentials

If you plan on using the favicon generation feature and the default ImageMagick driver, you must ensure that your site's environment has the ImageMagick PHP extension installed, enabled and running correctly.

Due to the variability of system configurations, no support is provided in helping to install and configure this extension. For more information about the ImageMagick extension, please consult the documentation at https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.imagick.php.

#Publishing Configuration Files

After installation, you may wish to publish the configuration files. This can be done by running the following command from the root of your project:

1php artisan vendor:publish --tag=statamic-site-essentials-config

This command will publish many configuration files to your project's config/site_essentials folder. If you do not plan on customizing the config/site_essentials/templating.php configuration file, you should remove it from your project in order to automatically receive future tag and modifier updates.
