* If your server does not permit automatic installation of a WordPress Plugin.

* If you want to try the [latest development version](https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-ostatus).

    * Download from [the WordPress directory](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ostatus/)

    * Download from [GitHub](https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-ostatus/releases)

* If downloaded as a zip archive, extract the Plugin folder to your desktop.

* With your FTP program, upload the Plugin folder to the `wp-content/plugins` folder in your WordPress directory online.

* Go to [Plugins screen](https://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Screens#Plugins) and find the newly uploaded Plugin in the list.

* Click **Activate** to activate it.
