## Instalación

#### Automatic installation

Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers
itself and you don’t need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install 
log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add New.

In the search field type the plugin name and click Search Plugins. Once you’ve found
our plugin by VegaCorp you can install it by simply clicking “Install Now”.

#### Manual installation

The manual installation method involves downloading our plugin and uploading it 
to your webserver via your favourite FTP application. The WordPress codex contains
[instructions on how to do this here.](https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Manual_Plugin_Installation)
