# Getting Started ### Getting Started The architecture of our plugins is implemented using Python. You're welcome to explore any reliable resources that you find helpful for learning Python. There are many great options out there! Users are welcome to write Python code using any tools they prefer, ranging from basic text editors like Notepad to sophisticated IDEs such as Visual Studio Code. Choose the environment that best fits your workflow and comfort level! All of the files related to a extensions should be packaged together inside a folder which sits in the `Documents/Grid Studio/Plugins`. ### Adding Libraries It is possible to include additional libraries to increase the functionalities of your extension. There are two ways that you can do this. First method is by packaging them inside a folder called `lib` at the same location as your python extension file. Second method is by creating a file called `requirements.txt` which has the name of the libraries you want to inlcude. If this file is placed at the same location as your main python file, SP will use `pip` to help install these libraries inside the `lib` folder at the same location. For more details, please refer to the sample plugins that are already included. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
