# Installing Reveal Connector in Brainspace

#### Pre-Requisites:

- Brainspace 6.4.1 or newer must be installed.
- A Reveal Review instance to connect to.
- A copy of the most current Reveal Plugin in a zip file.

#### **Steps:**

1. Copy the zip file containing the connector information to the Application Server.
2. Create a directory in the plugins directory called reveal-plugin-1.0:

***mkdir /var/lib/brains/.brainspace/plugins/reveal-plugin-1.0***
3. Move the zip file to the directory created in step 2:

***mv reveal-plugin-1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip /var/lib/brains/.brainspace/plugins/reveal-plugin-1.0/***
4. Unzip the zip file.

***cd /var/lib/brains/.brainspace/plugins/reveal-plugin-1.0/***

***unzip reveal-plugin-1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip***
5. Make all new files owned by the brains user.

***cd ..***

***chown -R brains:brains reveal-plugin-1.0/***
6. Restart platform service.
7. ***systemctl restart brainspace-platform***

Once Brainspace is back up you can then go into the Connectors Tab and click "***+Connector***" and you will now see "Reveal" for the Reveal Connector.
