chart plugin installation on FM Pro

[nd]

I want to install chart plugin on FM pro. I have License of chart plugin.

I put the chart plugin file on Macintosh HD/Users/user_name/Library/Application Support/FileMaker/FileMaker Pro Advanced/<version>/Extensions/

but not able to see plugin on FMPro > preferences > Plugins.

 

Please provide me in detail steps for this. Also let me know where to enter the license info.

It's much easier these days: put the plugin in a container field and use the "install plugin" script step...

Can you please provide detail step for this as I am new to FM.

Thank you so much for the reply.

I have done the installation. But now when go to preferences to enable the chart plugin gives error as '“?” failed to initialize.'

Please help me on this asap
