# Install: How to install the Scribe Plugin for FileMaker

The Scribe plugin is an essential part of FormPro that handles merging and extracting data from our PDF template files. It's a required part of the FormPro installation process for user machines.

To install it, all you need to do is download a file and place it in a designated folder.

For Windows (64-bit) download this file: https://www.GoMainSpring.com/formpro/360Works\_Scribe.fmx64  
For MacOS download this file: https://www.GoMainSpring.com/formpro/360Works\_Scribe.fmplugin

After download, place the file in the following local directory on the machine:  
Windows: C:/Program Files/FileMaker/FileMaker Pro Advanced/Extensions/  
MacOS: /Applications/FileMaker Pro Advanced/Extensions/

There is no need to activate or register the plugin, FormPro does this automatically as part of it's boot process.
