When to use manual install
Manual install is a strong choice when your team controls the site code and wants a simple direct deployment.
Step by step
- Use it for custom PHP, static sites, custom frameworks, or environments without a ready-made integration.
- Use one shared header or layout file if your site architecture supports it.
- Document the exact file where the snippet was placed for future maintenance.
