Add them to the file Configuration.json

Hi
I’m also new to this, but I also do not was to hijack the post, I’ve downloaded the Dicomweb and Web Viewer plug in, I’ve created a folder called plugins and I guess all we need to do now is point the config script to them, but not sure how or where in the file. I think Dr. Gupta may be at the same point.
Thanks
Gary

You have to configure the “Plugins” section of the Orthanc configuration file, as described in the documentation:

Probably he asked something like this:
`// 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. "Plugins" : ["./OrthancWebViewer-2.1.dll", "./OrthancDicomWeb-0.2.dll"],`
This is an example from my server. It works.
Plug-ins are in the folder beside configuration file.

Thats worked for me thanks, Plugins go in the main Orthanc folder (no sub folders) then the script below.
