#### Setting Up for Installation <a href="#setting_up_for_installation" id="setting_up_for_installation"></a>

In order to install a web chat widget on Joomla, you will need the following:

* Access to your Joomla admin panel.
* A code snippet for your web chat widget.

If you don't have a code snippet already, you will generate one when creating an IS-Messenger [Website Chat Widget](/ismessenger/messaging-channels/website-chat-widget.md) or using the [Facebook Chat Plugin](/ismessenger/messaging-channels/facebook-messenger/facebook-chat-plugin.md) for [Facebook Messenger](/ismessenger/messaging-channels/facebook-messenger.md).

{% hint style="success" %}
If you have the channels already connected on the IS-Messengero platform and you need to retrieve the generated code snippet, follow the [instructions here](/ismessenger/messaging-channels/website-chat-widget.md).
{% endhint %}

**Step 3: Paste the Script**

Copy your plugin script from the IS-Messenger platform. On the left panel of the Template Page, click the **index.php** section and paste the chat plugin script before `</head>` tag.

Once you have pasted the script into the appropriate section, press the **Save** button.

**Done!**

Open the website and check out the chat plugin. You will find it in the bottom-right corner. Now your website visitors can chat effortlessly with you. If you used the code snippets generated from the IS-Messenger platform, you will be able to manage the conversations and update the appearance of the widget from the Platform.
