We are proud to release a first version of our Joomla! Piwik component. Piwik is a downloadable, open source (GPL licensed) web analytics software program. It is a great alternative to Google Analytics. It provides you with detailed real time reports on your website visitors: the search engines and keywords they used, the language they speak, your popular pages. Check http://piwik.org for further details. With com_piwik you can easy install this great tool direkt into joomla! 1.5 with the well-known installer. A plugin will be installed together with the component to put the trackingcode directly in your current template on the right place.
com_piwik has the same requirements as piwik 0.4.3:
PHP version > 5.1.3
Required extensions: PDO, pdo_mysql, zlib, SPL
Get this great tool and download it for your joomla! 1.5 installation.

Check this screenshots if you need some help:
Step 1: Just install the com_piwik like any other component and click to piwik in the component menu.
Step 2: Piwik will check your sever for the requirements and grab you Joomla! DB settings directly from joomla! if your server is ready for piwik.
Step 3: Piwik need some tables in your Joomla! database.
Step 4: You have to set up an admin for your Piwik Installation...
Step 5: ...and some info about your website name and location.
Step 6: On this point you can just skip because a joomla plugin you installed with com_piwik puts the tracking code in every template you will use. So forget that step and go ahead.
Step 7: You will hopefully get a congratulation message from piwik...
Step 8: ...and after some clicks on you page you will collect some data.
