Plugins are installed by uploading KPZ ( Koha Plugin Zip ) packages. A KPZ file is just a zip file containing the perl files, template files, and any other files necessary to make the plugin work. The plugin system needs to be turned on by a system administrator. .. _set-up-label: Set up ------------------------- To set up the Koha plugin system you must first make some changes to your install. - Change 0 to 1 in your koha-conf.xml file - Restart your webserver Once set up is complete you will need to alter your :ref:`UseKohaPlugins` system preference.
