# Installing Lustre Sparks Plugins

Lustre Sparks plugins are installed automatically during Lustre installation. They are included with all Lustre configurations, as well as with all render components, including the Linux render farm package for background rendering.

NoteYou can modify plugin parameters on the Master Station or the Lustre HD Station. On the Lustre Station, you can only view the plugins.

All Lustre Sparks plugins reside in the plugins directory. If developing your own plugins, you must place them in the plugins directory and they must have a *.dll extension. If running the Windows version of Lustre, save your plugins in the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\<version number>\plugins folder. If running the Linux version of Lustre, save your plugins in the /usr/autodesk/<version number>/plugins directory.

Removing a Lustre Sparks plugin consists of deleting it from the plugins directory.
