Hello,

The MongoDB plugin is contributed software. Please get in touch with its authors:  
[https://github.com/jodogne/OrthancContributed/tree/master/Plugins/orthanc-mongodb](https://github.com/jodogne/OrthancContributed/tree/master/Plugins/orthanc-mongodb)

The DICOMweb and worklist plugins are available as Debian/Ubuntu packages:  
[https://packages.debian.org/unstable/orthanc](https://packages.debian.org/unstable/orthanc) (for worklist)

[https://packages.debian.org/unstable/orthanc-dicomweb](https://packages.debian.org/unstable/orthanc-dicomweb)

You can also download precompiled LSB binary packages (Linux Standard Base), that should run on most 64bit GNU/Linux distributions:  
[https://lsb.orthanc-server.com/](https://lsb.orthanc-server.com/)

The Osimis Web viewer is not packaged for Debian/Ubuntu, but the Orthanc Book explains how to get LSB binaries:  
[https://book.orthanc-server.com/plugins/osimis-webviewer.html#how-to-get-it](https://book.orthanc-server.com/plugins/osimis-webviewer.html#how-to-get-it)

**Hello** Ammar,

The Orthanc JSONC configuration file describes the plugins that will be loaded. Excerpt from the default configuration:

```auto
  // List of paths to the plugins that are to be loaded into this
  // instance of Orthanc (e.g. "./libPluginTest.so" for Linux, or
  // "./PluginTest.dll" for Windows). These paths can refer to
  // folders, in which case they will be scanned non-recursively to
  // find shared libraries. Backslashes must be either escaped by
  // doubling them, or replaced by forward slashes "/".
  "Plugins" : [
  ],

```

As mentioned, if you add a folder to this list, Orthanc will attempt to load all plugins from this folder.

If you are using a prepackaged Orthanc version, such as the Ubuntu package, please note that this entry will not be empty and will point to a location on the filesystem (such as `/usr/share/orthanc/plugins/`) where you can add plugins if required.

Let us know how it goes.
