<h1>Installing mCaptcha on your website</h1>
<p class="lead"></p>
<p>mCaptcha can protect your website from DDoS attacks. In this guide we&rsquo;ll
explore how to install mCaptcha on your website. The end result will be
something like this, on your website:</p>

<p>For the purpose of this demo, we will be using
<a href="https://demo.mcaptcha.org">demo.mcaptcha.org</a>, a demo instance running
in @realaravinth&rsquo;s bedroom(for this same reason, it shouldn&rsquo;t be used
for anything serious)</p>

<p>There are two options to create a new site key, easy and advanced. <strong>We
are going to use the easy mode in this tutorial.</strong> If you are interested
in learning more about the advance mode, please see <a href="/docs/introduction/configuring-difficulty-factor/#advance-option">here</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<h3 id="easy-modedocsintroductionconfiguring-difficulty-factoreasy-option"><a href="/docs/introduction/configuring-difficulty-factor/#easy-option">Easy Mode</a><a href="#easy-modedocsintroductionconfiguring-difficulty-factoreasy-option" class="anchor" aria-hidden="true">#</a> </h3>
<p>Easy mode asks a few basic statistics about your website and generates a
configuration that should work for your website. Currently, easy mode is
guided by assumptions on suitable difficulty factors to protect a
website but it will be fine-tuned as mCaptcha sees more deployment.</p>
<p>Configuration generated by easy mode can be tweaked later using the
advance mode, as you become more familiar with how mCaptcha works.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Fill the form and submit it.</p>

<p>Submitting the form will take you to a page where site key configuration
can be viewed. &ldquo;View deployment&rdquo; link will display CAPTCHA widget with
the supplied configuration. Click on it and grab the widget link.</p>

<p>Integration support is available for some frontend JavaScript
frameworks. To see full list of supported frameworks, please see
<a href="https://github.com/mCaptcha/glue#framework-support">here</a>.</p>
<p>There are two options to use the integration library to integrate
mCaptcha on your website:</p>
<ol>
<li>Serve the integration library yourself</li>
<li>Use a CDN like unpkg.com</li>
</ol>
<p>In this tutorial, we&rsquo;ll be using the CDN.</p>
<p><strong>Pasting the following snippet on the page, within the form</strong> that requires to be protected
will load the mCaptcha widget with the configuration supplied. Be sure
to replace <code>Your {{paste your widget link}}</code> with the link obtained from
the previous step.</p>
