# Install/Uninstall a Language File or Template

-- Draft version

There are two ways to install a Language file or a Template using the Joomla administration system. All methods assume the file you want to install is already stored on your local drive.

To Upload a Language file or Template:
If your server has GZip support with PHP, you will be able to upload a zipped package file that will be installed automatically. "Browse" to the location of the element (zipped package file of a Language file or Template) on your computer. Then click the "Upload File & Install" icon.
To Install From a Directory:
If you don't have GZip support then you must unpack the zipped file onto your local drive before uploading it. Unzip the archive into a folder on your local drive and upload the unpacked archive files to your host's server. Type the location of this file (it must be the absolute location) then click the 'Install' icon.
To Uninstall:
If you want to delete any language go to the menu item Site-> Language Manager-> Site Languages and use the "Delete" icon.
If you want to delete any template go to menu item SIte->Template Manager-> Site Templates or ->Administrator Templates and use the "Delete" icon.
