+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
+```
