Installation of FusionCharts Free merely involves copying and pasting the SWF files from the package into any of your folders.

Installation of FusionCharts Free for your web application is just a two-step affair:

1. Create a folder named FusionCharts in the root of your application (though, it's not mandatory to name the folder as FusionCharts or create it under root folder. However, it organizes things a lot more, as all the pages within your website can now access the common set of charts).
2. Copy all the SWF files from Download Package > Charts Folder and paste it in this folder.

Installation Complete - Yes, there's no more step involved - you're now ready to use FusionCharts in your web application, which will soon see.

If you want to create charts on your local machine, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the folder where you want to save the chart.
2. Create a folder named FusionCharts inside this. Again note that, it's not mandatory to name the folder as FusionCharts or create it as a new folder. However, doing this way organizes things a lot more.
3. Copy all the SWF files from Download Package > Charts Folder and now paste it in this folder.

That completes the installation for FusionCharts Free. Now, all you need to do is build your XML data and HTML page, which we'll see next.
