I have downloaded plug-in from.

> **[GitHub - rails/country\_select: NOTICE: official repository moved to...](https://github.com/rails/country_select)**

but i don’t know how to install it… in file install.rb there is only

# Install hook code here

puts “The list of countries provided by this plugin may offend some  
users. Please review it carefully before you use it”

what is Install hook code ? and how to use it.

Thank in advance  
T.

Running the plugin install command from your rails directory should  
work. Run the following command from your CMD. make sure you are in  
your rails directory when running the installation script.

script/plugin install \<git\_path/of/the/plugin\>

should work.

this will download the plugin ad put it in the “/vendor/plugin”  
folder. and as the helper function is defined under lib folder you  
should readily get the method in your views.

let us know it worked or not.  
Thank you 🙂
