Apache JMeter Plugin community, recently launched JMeter Plugins Manager. The actual purpose of this is to easily install / uninstall JMeter plugins using JMeter UI. It automatically adds plugins instead of doing it manually.

By using this you can manage plugins from [jmeter-plugins.org](http://jmeter-plugins.org/), different third-party plugins and core JMeter plugins.

Below are the steps of how to install and use **JMeter Plugins Manager**

- Go to [http://jmeter-plugins.org/get](http://jmeter-plugins.org/get) (by clicking on this URL you can directly download JAR) and download JAR file.
- Install into X:\\apache-jmeter-3.0\\lib\\ext folder.
- Now **start** JMeter.
- Go to **Options** (Alt+O)

![jmeter-img-1.png](https://blog.e-zest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jmeter-img-1.png?width=502&height=242&name=jmeter-img-1.png)

- Click on **Plugins Manager**.
- Plugins Manager window will be displayed.

![jmeter-img-2.png](https://blog.e-zest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jmeter-img-2.png?width=414&height=424&name=jmeter-img-2.png)

Basically, it shows 3 tabs:

1. **Installed plugin**
2. **Available Plugins**
3. **Upgrades**

- **Installed Plugins:** It will display all installed plugins in your core JMeter zip setup.   
   Clicking on any of the plugin.

![jmeter-img-3.png](https://blog.e-zest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jmeter-img-3.png?width=591&name=jmeter-img-3.png)Plugin name, Vendor, Documentation link and its image.

**Note**: If you un-check on one of the plugin and click on ‘**’Apply Changes and Restart JMteter**’’ button it starts uninstalling process.   
In **Review Changes** you can also check its progress. Once it done it restarts JMeter.

- **Available Plugins:** Shows list of all available plugins.

![jmeter-img-4.png](https://blog.e-zest.com/hs-fs/hubfs/jmeter-img-4.png?width=597&name=jmeter-img-4.png)

Select any plugin.   
Here I am selecting **Test Plan Check Tool,** check the checkbox and click on ‘**’Apply Changes and Restart JMteter**’’ button.

**Note**: Many plugins might have versions. You can also download previous version of plugins.

- **Upgrades**: If any update is available.
  
  Download the new JMeter Plugins Manger and explore the changes.
