How to Install a Roblox Studio Plugin (2026 Walkthrough)

Roblox Studio plugins are just Luau scripts that Studio loads at startup. There are two install paths: the Creator Store (one click inside Studio) and manual files (drop a .lua into your Plugins folder). ScriptFreak ships as a manual file so you get updates the moment they exist, not when a review queue clears.

The manual install, click by click

Download the plugin file. Open Roblox Studio, open any place, and click the Plugins tab in the ribbon. You will see a Plugins Folder button on the far right of the ribbon. Clicking it opens the exact folder Studio reads on launch.

• Download ScriptFreak.lua from the plugin page
• Studio → Plugins tab → Plugins Folder
• Drop the .lua file into that folder
• Restart Studio
• Look for the ScriptFreak button in the Plugins ribbon

Where the folder lives

Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Roblox\Plugins. macOS: ~/Documents/Roblox/Plugins. You never need to find it by hand; the Plugins Folder button is always faster and always correct.

Trust and permissions

A plugin can read and write your place file, which is exactly what makes one useful. Only install plugins from sources you trust. ScriptFreak's plugin is a single readable file: it talks to scriptfreak.com, writes scripts wrapped in undo records, and touches nothing else. Open it in any text editor and read all of it before you install it.
