Requirements

• WordPress >= 4.0
• PHP >= 5.4
• MySQL >= 5.5
• A valid API key for openexchangerates.org

1. Either look for this plugin on the WordPress plugins directory and install, or git clone or download the latest stable release from Github, then and copy wp-currencies into your WordPress plugins directory.
2. From the WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to the Plugins page.
3. Locate WP Currencies among the installed plugins.
4. Click on Activate.

Once the plugin is activated and you have obtained a valid API key from openexchangerates.org, take the following steps:

1. From the WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Settings menu.
2. Click on the Currencies menu item.
3. In the page you just opened, enter your Open Exchange Rates API key.
4. If you want, you can specify a different update frequency.
