# Installing MailChimp

**Installing the free plugin is easy**

Like other free WordPress plugins, installing the MailChimp for WordPress Lite plugin is quite easy-going. All you need is a MailChimp account and a self-hosted website.

**1**. In your WordPress admin panel, go to Plugins > New Plugin, search for MailChimp for WordPress and click "Install now"

**2**. Alternatively, [download the plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/#installation) and upload the contents of MailChimp-for-wp.zip to your plugins directory, which usually is /wp-content/plugins/.

**3\*\***.\*\* Activate the plugin

**4**. Set your [MailChimp API key](https://admin.mailchimp.com/account/api) in the plugin settings.

**5**. Insert the code into the input field Form mark-up:

`<div class="form__field form__field-button"><button type="submit" class="form__button">Sign up</button></div>`\
`<div class="form__field form__field-text"><input class="form__input-text" type="email" name="EMAIL" placeholder="Enter your e-mail address" required="required"></div>`

If you see the green square that says Connected, that means your website can communicate with your MailChimp account. You can now start to collect subscribers through your website!

**Again, thank you for purchasing this theme!**
