# Quick start
You can install and uninstall any plugin you want
## Plugin installation
```bash
strapin install <plugin-name>.
```
Installs a plugin, using the CLI.
### Basic usage
Considering you want to install a plugin named `content-manager` you can run the following command:
`$ strapi install content-manager`.
This implies that this plugin is published on the npm registry as `strapi-plugin-content-manager`.
The command installs the plugin in the `node_modules` folder of your Strapi application, and then, move the plugin itself in the `./plugins` folder, so you can edit and version it.
### Development mode
In order to make contributors life easier, a command is dedicated to development mode:
`$ strapi install <plugin-name> --dev` (eg. `$ strapi install content-manager --dev`)
This command creates a symlink between the Strapi application and the plugin, which should have been previously installed globally (`$ npm link` or `$ npm install plugin-name -g`).
***
## Plugin uninstallation
```bash
strapi uninstall <plugin-name>
```
Allows the developer to uninstall a plugin, using the CLI.
### Basic usage
Command: `$ strapi uninstall <plugin-name>` (eg. `$ strapi uninstall content-manager`).
This command simply removes the plugin folder.
Please refer to the [CLI documentation](http://strapi.io) for more information.
