# Install the module

Before you install, check that your site meets these requirements. You can ask your host, or find the same information in the Joomla administrator under **System > System Information**.

 
## System requirements

 
- Joomla 5.x or 6.x. Older versions of Opening Hours module are still available for Joomla 4.x, and for Joomla 1.5, 2.5 or 3.x (without the latest features).

 Joomla 1.5 support ended in September 2012, Joomla 2.5 support ended in March 2015, and Joomla 3.10 support ended in August 2023.

 
## Before you install

 
- Create a full backup of your website. [Akeeba Backup](http://www.akeeba.com) is a quick way to do this.
- Update Joomla to the latest version.

 
## Install the package

 Go to your Joomla administrator and open **System > Install > Extensions**. Upload the installation file you downloaded from our website, in the **Upload Package File** tab.

 After a few moments, Joomla confirms the extension is installed.

 Modules are not published automatically. Go to **Extensions > Extension Manager**, find **Opening Hours**, then set a module position and menu assignment and publish it.

 
## Install from the Joomla Extension Directory

 Alternatively, go to **System > Install > Extensions** and open the **Install from Web** tab, then search for **Joomill** to find our extensions directly from within Joomla.
