# Build a plugin
|
|
|
|
For more information on the types of plugins you can build, refer to the [Plugin Overview]({{< relref "../../plugins/_index.md" >}}).
|
|
|
|
## Get started
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to start developing Grafana plugins is to use the [Grafana Toolkit](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@grafana/toolkit).
|
|
|
|
Open the terminal, and run the following command in your [plugin directory]({{< relref "../../administration/configuration.md#plugins" >}}):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npx @grafana/toolkit plugin:create my-grafana-plugin
|
|
```
|
|
