# Install Pootle FS plugins for VCS

To work with VCS systems Pootle FS requires some additional packages and configuration.

## Install the Pootle FS plugins

Pootle FS provides support for different VCS systems through plugins, so in order to work with a specific VCS it is necessary to install its plugin. For examples for Git:

- Install the plugin:

      (env) $ pip install --process-dependency-links --pre Pootle[git]

- Add the plugin to `INSTALLED_APPS`:

      INSTALLED_APPS += ['pootle_fs_git']

This is done once for the whole Pootle server.

## Next steps

Your project is now ready to use Pootle FS with the chosen VCS systems, you can now proceed to add a Pootle FS managed project.
