1. Copy your plugin directory into @#{RAILS_ROOT}/plugins@ (Redmine 2.x) or @#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins@ (Redmine 1.x). If you are downloading the plugin directly from GitHub, you can do so by changing into your plugin directory and issuing a command like @git clone git://github.com/user_name/name_of_the_plugin.git@.

There is a step-by-step [[Plugin_Tutorial|tutorial]] about writing a plugin. Some more (detailed) information is collected and stored in the "[[Plugin_Internals|plugin internals]]" page.
