make sure to enable this repository by following
[these instructions](http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F).

Depending on which directory your plugins are installed into you may need to
update the global `PluginDir` constant in your [Icinga 2 configuration](4-configuring-icinga-2.md#constants-conf).
This constant is used by the check command definitions contained in the Icinga Template Library
to determine where to find the plugin binaries.
Please refer to the [plugins](14-addons-plugins.md#plugins) chapter for details about how to integrate
additional check plugins into your Icinga 2 setup.
