The installation of Moodle plugins is possible like on any Moodle installation.
To install plugins, it is recommended to connect the MoodleBox to the Internet with an Ethernet cable. Log in the Moodle platform with an administrator account, then visit Site administration > Plugins > Install plugins.
You can now install plugins, either by clicking on the button Install plugins from the Moodle plugins directory (preferably), or by uploading a ZIP file of a plugin.
The MoodleBox allows access to the Moodle database for administration purpose, via the Adminer software. To access to login interface, type the following URL http://moodlebox.home/adminer.php in the address bar of your browser, and type the credentials below. Of course the password is different if you have changed it.

Info
The Moodle environment on the MoodleBox is completely standard.
Following settings were configured to facilitate Moodlebox’ use or to enhance its performance.
post_max_size and upload_max_filesize).php, du, ghostscript and python executables are appropriately set.When a USB stick is inserted into one of the MoodleBox USB ports, all the files on the stick are automatically available to administrators and teachers in the file picker of Moodle, via a repository called USB Drive.
USB Drive repository
If several USB sticks are inserted into the MoodleBox, only the files of the first inserted one are available.
Insert your microSD card into the Raspberry Pi slot, power it up and connect it to the network via an Ethernet cable. The red LED lights up, and after a few seconds the green LED lights up intermittently.
Startup
There is no other manipulation to do: after the boot, your MoodleBox ready and totally functional.
If possible, it is recommended to connect the MoodleBox via Ethernet to the network at each startup. Thus, the maintenance tasks requiring an Internet connection (for example the synchronization of the internal clock) will be successfully done.
