Installation instructions - Fresh Install

1. Use Joomla's Extension Manager to install the Anatoa Zip file. This is accessed from the menu Extensions -> Install/Uninstall in Joomla!'s Admin section.

2. Access the plugin configuration page from the menu Components -> Anatoa -> Configuration and set the correct API key. In order to get your own key, sign up for a (free) account at anatoa.com. You will need the IP address of your server in order to sign up correctly. You can find this by typing "ping mysite.com" in a command window on your client computer.

3. Use your cPanel or other control panel, or an SSH login to your server, to add a cron entry. For SSH, type the command "crontab -e" to start the crontab editor. Find a new line and enter the following line (all on one line):

*/3 * * * * php /path to Joomla! install/com_anatoa/cron.php CRONKEY007

where "path to Joomla! install" is the full path on your server. For cPanel, go to the appropriate page where you can enter a new cron command.
