There are many plugins available for Picard. A number of these are written by the Picard developers, however many are written by users and enthusiasts. If you are having issues with a plugin, please check the [http://forums.musicbrainz.org/ forums] for answers and ask any questions.

# download .py file(s)
# create a 'plugins' directory (if not existing already) under
## Windows: either <code><nowiki>C:\Program Files\Musicbrainz Picard\plugins</nowiki></code> (for default Picard application folder) or <code><nowiki>%APPDATA%\MusicBrainz\Picard\plugins</nowiki></code>
## *Nix: either Picard application directory/plugins or <code><nowiki>~/.config/MusicBrainz/Picard/plugins</nowiki></code>

### Open a Terminal (can be found in: <code><nowiki>Applications/Utilities/Terminal</nowiki></code>)

### type <code><nowiki>open $HOME/.config/MusicBrainz/Picard/plugins</nowiki></code> to display the folder in finder. Now move the plugins there.

=== Context Menu Items ===
Note that not all plugins will add options to the "Plugins" section of the right click context menu you get on tracks, files and clusters. Plugins in the above list that do not add a context menu item should work automatically on all new metadata that is loaded into the right-hand pane, once they are enabled in the options.
