# Requirements & installation

Too Much Niche needs two plugins, both installed and active: **Too Much Niche** itself and **Content Egg** (which powers the product and content blocks). Use the latest version of both plugins.

## Requirements

* **WordPress 6.8+** with **PHP 8.0+**.
* **Too Much Niche** + **Content Egg** plugins (install both — see below, and keep both up to date).
* An active **Too Much Niche license** — Starter, Growth, or Agency.

For Content Egg, the **free** version is enough for most models. Affiliate product search needs **Content Egg Pro** with an active Content Egg license — see [Free vs Pro](/content-egg-integration/free-vs-pro.md).

## Install the plugins

Both plugins install the same way — upload a zip and activate.

1. **Download the plugin zips:**
   * **Too Much Niche** — from your account at [keywordrush.com/panel](https://www.keywordrush.com/panel).
   * **Content Egg** — from [keywordrush.com/panel](https://www.keywordrush.com/panel) (Pro), or the free version from the [WordPress plugin repository](https://wordpress.org/plugins/content-egg/).
2. In WordPress, go to **Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin**, choose a zip, click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.
3. Repeat for the second plugin.

**Tip:** For Content Egg **Free**, you can skip the download — go to **Plugins → Add New Plugin**, search for *Content Egg*, then **Install** and **Activate**.
{% endhint %}

Order doesn't matter, but Content Egg must be active and up to date for Too Much Niche to work.

## Upgrading from version 4

Version 5 is a complete rewrite. If you're coming from **Too Much Niche v4**, we recommend a clean install rather than updating in place:

1. Go to **Plugins**, **deactivate** Too Much Niche v4, then **delete** it.
2. Install **v5** fresh from your [keywordrush.com/panel](https://www.keywordrush.com/panel) zip and **activate** it.

This gives the smoothest first run and avoids a harmless one-time PHP notice that can appear while the old and new files swap.

**Your content is safe.** Published posts are regular WordPress content and are never touched by deleting or reinstalling a plugin.
{% endhint %}

## Keep Too Much Niche up to date

Article and plan generation run on our servers, so the plugin has to stay in sync with them. **Always run the latest version.**

Updating is one click: when a new version is available, an **Update to v…** button appears in the header on any Too Much Niche page. Click it and the plugin updates itself — no re-download needed.
