+The easiest way to install plugins is by using the CLI tool grafana-cli which is bundled with grafana. Before any modification take place after modifieng plugins, grafana-server need to be restarted.
 
 ### Grafana plugin directory
 On Linux systems the grafana-cli will assume that the grafana plugin directory is "/var/lib/grafana/plugins". Its possible to override the directory which grafana-cli will operate on by specifing the --path flag. On Windows systems this parameter have to be specified for every call.
