title: Create Plugin
---
Tooling for modern web development can be tricky to wrap your head around. While you certainly can write your own webpack configuration, for this guide, you'll be using grafana create-plugin tool
Grafana [create-plugin tool](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@grafana/create-plugin) is a CLI application that simplifies Grafana plugin development, so that you can focus on code. The tool scaffolds a starter plugin and all the required configuration for you.
1. In the plugin directory, create a plugin from template using create-plugin:
```
npx @grafana/create-plugin
```
1. Change directory to your newly created plugin:
```
cd my-plugin
```
1. Install the dependencies:
```
yarn install
```
1. Build the plugin:
```
yarn dev
```
1. Restart the Grafana server for Grafana to discover your plugin.
1. Open Grafana and go to **Configuration** -> **Plugins**. Make sure that your plugin is there.
By default, Grafana logs whenever it discovers a plugin:
```
INFO[01-01|12:00:00] Registering plugin logger=plugins name=my-plugin
```
