# Plugin Installation

In this section, you'll learn how to install and activate the required plugins for your project. It's the easiest part of the documentation.

### 🛒 Install FMM From [FAB](https://www.fab.com/listings/a1e5ab86-eccd-4c41-b35d-1b14f3ee0419) Marketplace

The FMM Core Plugin includes all the menu assets and code needed. It's easy to install, especially if you purchased FMM from the FAB marketplace.

Open Epic Games Launcher & Head Library TAB and search for Full Modern Menu System Then Press Install to Engine

Select the target engine version and hit Install

After the plugin installation is done, open windows file explorer and head to this direction\
`\UE_Root_Folder\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace` & Copy a folder called `FullModeddf056c1df12V20` To your project **Plugins** folder.

{% hint style="success" %}
If your unreal project has no folder called **Plugins** simply create it because you need it.
{% endhint %}

Finally enable the plugin from plugins manager inside the unreal editor.

### 🌐 Install FMM From Third-Party Sources.

If you obtained **FMM** from [**Gumroad**](https://aldertlake.gumroad.com/l/zxipau) or from illegal sources XD, simply place the `FMM_CorePlugin` folder inside the `Plugins` folder in the root of your project folder.

Do not use a plugin built for a different engine version than the one you're using—even if it compiles—because engine versions differ in code, features, and even Blueprint behavior.

{% hint style="info" %}
Again, If your unreal project has no folder called **Plugins** simply create it because you need it.
{% endhint %}

### 🖥️ Adding Upscalling Plugins To The Project

The **DLSS**, **NIS**, **FSR**, **Streamline,** and **XESS** plugins are required for the FMM plugin to work correctly.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can manually download these plugins from their original sources by following the links below

**NVIDIA DLSS 4 / Streamline Plugin**

1. Download from this [link](https://developer.nvidia.com/rtx/dlss).
2. Inside the `.zip`, open the **Plugins** folder.
3. Copy the following folders into your project’s **Plugins** folder:
   * `DLSS`
   * `NIS`
   * `StreamlineCore`
   * `StreamlineDLSSG`
   * `StreamlineReflex`

**AMD FSR 4 Plugin**

1. Get it from this[ link](https://gpuopen.com/learn/ue-fsr4/).
2. Copy the `FSR4` folder into your project’s **Plugins** folder.

**Intel XeSS 2 / XeLL / XeFG Plugin**

1. Download from this [GitHub link](https://github.com/GameTechDev/XeSSUnrealPlugin/releases).
2. Create a new folder in your project’s **Plugins** directory called `XeSS_Plugin`.
3. Extract the `.zip` contents into the `XeSS_Plugin` folder.
   {% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Obtaining these plugins is **mandatory**, as they are required for FMM to function correctly.

Note: Do not run the FMM before having these upscalling plugins.
{% endhint %}

This is how the upscaling plugins should appear in your Plugins Manager:

<figure><img src="https://2108008436-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzBeSi5Zg7SXSwj6kLMdE%2Fuploads%2F9tvlFMkHi5TYfS0UX3Yb%2F%7B34B015AD-0AF3-450F-BB0F-1587B6D9C646%7D.png?alt=media&amp;token=0a547bbd-30ca-45a5-9e33-81c70ef43c18" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Your Plugins Folder should look like this (**FMM\_CorePlugin** should have a different name if you get the asset from FAB).

{% hint style="info" %}
You can safely rename any plugin folder because Unreal Engine references plugins by their **.uplugin file name**, not by the folder name.
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="https://2108008436-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzBeSi5Zg7SXSwj6kLMdE%2Fuploads%2F2TftgeWZu58tUq40mhsu%2F%7BF0750FE1-DBEB-4294-8DE6-D79628C0665D%7D.png?alt=media&amp;token=05a86b80-3965-40be-b47a-e186d3d1aebe" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="danger" %}
A black screen in standalone mode may occur & it's usually caused by misconfigured loading phases in NVIDIA plugins. For more info, read this [Troubleshoot](/docs-full-modern-menu/troubleshoot.md#black-screen-when-running-in-standalone-game)&#x20;
{% endhint %}

This may be enabled by default after installing the FMM Plugin, but make sure the Common UI & Enhanced input Plugins are enabled—if not, enable them manually.

### ⚙️ Show Plugin Content

Hit Settings in the content of your Unreal Engine and activate **Show Plugin Content.**

The plugin content folder should appear in the right of the folders navigation menu in the right with name of  `FMM Core  Content`
