To enable any plugin in the /plugins directory, you need to update the config file. Specifically, the entry<br>

<div> </div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi, ArchivesSpace users,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I continue my quest to get our site set up and have been told that I need to install the lcnaf plugin. I've got a few questions:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>First, where is the documentation on how to install the plugin? The code in github does not have so much as a README file to give me information on how to install it. Do I just grab the code and plunk it into the plugins directory? Or is there more to
be done? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Second, how does ArchivesSpace decide what plugins get pulled into code and which do not. This one, from what I can tell, has been around for a long time and yet continues to be a plugin that is added after the fact. Yet other plugins have been added into
the code. Just curious how that gets decided.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
