# [[Beta testing Obsidian plugins]]
If you'd like to try out Obsidian plugins that have not been released yet, the best way to do that is using another plugin: the [[Obsidian42 BRAT plugin]]! However, if you'd like to install a plugin manually, here's what you have to do:
In the plugin directory, look for the following files:
```
main.js
styles.css
manifest.json
```
Copy these files into `your_vault_directory/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-plugin-name`.
Restart Obsidian.
