Get Existing Plugins

This tutorial will walk through acquiring existing plugins from the Rxn Rover Plugin Catalog and installing the plugins so they are discoverable by Rxn Rover.

Note

For information on creating your own plugin, see Creating a New Plugin.

Where can I acquire plugins?

A list of existing first- and third-party plugins exists in the Rxn Rover Plugin Catalog. Browse the listings or use the search feature to find your desired plugins, and follow the acquisition instructions included with each plugin listing to download it.

Where should downloaded plugins go?

Typical installation of a plugin just requires moving the downloaded plugin to your <documents>/RxnRover/Plugins directory, where <documents> is the location of a user’s Documents directory for your operating system. Rxn Rover will check this directory and load plugins based on their plugin.conf files.

Note

Each plugin, especially third-party plugins, may have additional or different installation instructions. Make sure you thoroughly read each plugin description!
