See the instructions for **how to** [**Install an Isotammi addon**](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/looking-for-isotammi-import-csv-sources-tool/3149/6) using the Gramps’ Addon Management feature.

For manual installation, the downloaded archive just has to be decompressed to go in its own folder in the Gramps [User Directory](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_User_Directory) plugins folder.

For Windows, this is located at  
%AppData%/gramps/gramps51/plugins/

The next time you restart Gramps, the plug-in should register and be available in whatever portion of the GUI that the programmer set. (It could be a tool, view mode, Gramplet report… etc ad nauseum.)
