2. Stop Domoticz as you will have to restart it in order to load a new plugin configuration item .
3. if you are not on 6.1.5 and you didn't use the WebAdmin Plugin Update menu, do the following
`cd Domoticz-Zigbee` (or Domoticz-Zigate for the old installation)
`git config --add submodule.recurse true`
`git pull --recurse-submodules` ( you might have to use the sudo command if you get access right issues)
`sudo python3 -m pip --no-input install -r requirements.txt`
4. Restart Domoticz
5. Go to the Hardware menu , and select the ZigbeeforDomoticz plugin.
