# Installation & Configuration

## Installation

The SpecFlow+ Excel plugin is available from [NuGet](http://www.nuget.org/packages/SpecFlow.Plus.Excel).  

To add the package to your Visual Studio project:  

1. Right-click on your specification project and select **Manage Nuget Packages for Solution**.  
2. Search for "SpecFlow Excel" on nuget.org and install the SpecFlow+ Excel plugin

Alternatively, you can install the package from the NuGet console (**Tools | NuGet Package Manager | Package Manager Console**) as follows:

  <plugins>
    <add name="SpecFlow.Plus.Excel" type="Generator" />
  </plugins>
