# Element-web

Element-web is the webinterface, Element in a browser. You'll find the source
and [documentation on installing and
configuring](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/blob/develop/docs/install.md)
on Github.

You should never run Element-web on the same FQDN as your Synapse-server,
because of XSS problems. So start by defining a new FQDN for where you will
publish Element-web, and get a certificate for that.

We'll use `element.matrixdev.example.com` here.


# Installing on Debian {#debian}

Installing it on Debian is very easy indeed:

```
wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/element-io-archive-keyring.gpg https://packages.element.io/debian/element-io-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/element-io-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.element.io/debian/ default main" |
              tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/element-io.list
apt update
apt install element-web
```


# Configuration {#configuration}

Configuring is done in `config.json`, see the [documentation on
Github](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/blob/develop/docs/config.md).
