How to install the Joomla Content Editor (JCE)
1. Login to your Joomla admin panel (usually located at http://yoursite.com/administrator)
2. Select EXTENSIONS -> INSTALL/UNINSTALL
3. Grab the latest version of JCE - you can either download it, and install using the "Upload Package File" option, or you can simply copy the download URL from the JCE website, and paste it into the "Install from URL" field. Make sure you use the full package version (filename: "JCE 1.x.x.x Package" ) otherwise you will need to download and install both the JCE component and the JCE plugin separately.
4. Wait for the package to upload and install.
5. You should get a confirmation message (or an error message). If you receive an error, contact support.
6. If you didn't download the full package, you will also need to download the JCE plugin and install that.
7. You may need to publish the JCE plugin - go to EXTENSIONS -> PLUGIN MANAGER and check to see if it has a red X next to it. If it does, click on it to publish the plugin.
8. Now you need to tell Joomla that you want to use a different editor for your content. Go to SITE -> GLOBAL CONFIG and change the "Default WYSIWYG" option to JCE.
9. You should now see a new editor, with lots of new functions (buttons) when you edit articles, and other pages in Joomla.
NOTE: If you still don't see the new editor after changing the WYSIWYG option, you may need to change the editor option for your individual user. Go to SITE -> USER MANAGER, select your user and change the WYSIWYG editor option in there to JCE also.
