# plugin install (experimental)

```markdown
Usage:  docker plugin install [OPTIONS] PLUGIN

Install a plugin

Options:
      --disable                 do not enable the plugin on install
      --grant-all-permissions   grant all permissions necessary to run the plugin
      --help                    Print usage
```

Installs and enables a plugin. Docker looks first for the plugin on your Docker
host. If the plugin does not exist locally, then the plugin is pulled from
Docker Hub.


The following example installs `no-remove` plugin. Install consists of pulling the
plugin from Docker Hub, prompting the user to accept the list of privileges that
the plugin needs and enabling the plugin.

```bash
$ docker plugin install tiborvass/no-remove

Plugin "tiborvass/no-remove" is requesting the following privileges:
 - network: [host]
 - mount: [/data]
 - device: [/dev/cpu_dma_latency]
Do you grant the above permissions? [y/N] y
tiborvass/no-remove
```

After the plugin is installed, it appears in the list of plugins:

```bash
$ docker plugin ls

NAME                  TAG                 DESCRIPTION                ENABLED
tiborvass/no-remove   latest              A test plugin for Docker   true
```
