When your plugin is ready, you can publish it to a plugin repository so that other users can install it.

or a [custom plugin repository](/basics/getting_started/update_plugins_format.md).
> **TIP** Please see [Marketing](/appendix/resources/marketing.md) for remarks on how to prepare your plugin for optimal presentation.
