# Installing a Plugin

* **Download** the plugin.
* (**Optional**) If the plugin **does not** provide a directory structure, create a directory with the plugin name in `<game_directory>/red4ext/plugins`.
* **Copy** the plugin files as following:
  * If you have created a directory at step **2**, copy the files in the newly created directory.
  * If you did not create a directory, copy the files in `<game_directory>/red4ext/plugins`.
* (**Optional**) Start the game and verify `<game_directory>/red4ext/logs/game.log` if the plugin is loaded correctly.
