# Plugins installation and management

### 1) Plugins management on the CORAYE software interface

Access to plugin management is done by clicking on the "**Settings**" button located at the top right of the software.

When the installation is new, it is necessary to customize CORAYE by adding plugins corresponding to the spectrophotometers and the color engine that you will use.

In the example below we are missing the MYIRO spectrophotometer plugin from Konica Minolta. So we will install it. To install a plugin, we have two possibilities

* The first (and the simplest) is to click on the "Install plugin" button located under the icon corresponding to the instrument (for example MYIRO Pilot)
* The second is to download the plugin via the Dashboard and install it with the "Install Plugin" button
