# Grafana Plugins
|
|
|
|
From Grafana 3.0+ not only are datasource plugins supported but also panel plugins and apps.
|
|
Having panels as plugins make it easy to create and add any kind of panel, to show your data
|
|
or improve your favorite dashboards. Apps is something new in Grafana that enables
|
|
bundling of datasources, panels, dashboards and Grafana pages into a cohesive experience.
|
|
|
|
Grafana already have a strong community of contributors and plugin developers.
|
|
By making it easier to develop and install plugins we hope that the community
|
|
can grow even stronger and develop new plugins that we would never think about.
|
|
|
|
To discover plugins checkout the official [Plugin Repository](https://grafana.net/plugins).

# Installing plugins
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to install plugins is by using the CLI tool grafana-cli which is bundled with grafana. Before any modification take place after modifying plugins, grafana-server needs to be restarted.
|
|
|
|
### Grafana plugin directory
|
|
|
|
On Linux systems the grafana-cli will assume that the grafana plugin directory is `/var/lib/grafana/plugins`. It's possible to override the directory which grafana-cli will operate on by specifying the --pluginsDir flag. On Windows systems this parameter have to be specified for every call.
|
|
|
|
### Grafana-cli commands
|
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
grafana-cli plugins list-remote
|
