Requirements for the Google Analytics import

For Matomo Cloud

• Our cloud hosted service meets all the requirements automatically.

For Matomo On-Premise and Matomo for WordPress:

• At least Matomo 3.12.0 is required to use the Google Analytics importer.
• PHP configuration needs to allow the use of the functions shell_exec() or exec()
• Your server must allow the execution of the CLI PHP from within a web request and must have nohup available.
• Your Matomo instance should have cron archiving setup.
• Proceed to install the Google Analytics Importer plugin in your Matomo by following these steps.

Note: In some cases, the plugin does not work for servers running on Windows, we are investigating this and will provide a fix soon.
