+## Installing
+
+To install the OMERO extension, download the latest `qupath-extension-omero-[version].jar` file from [releases](https://github.com/qupath/qupath-extension-omero/releases) and drag it onto the main QuPath window.
+
+If you haven't installed any extensions before, you'll be prompted to select a QuPath user directory.
+The extension will then be copied to a location inside that directory.
+
+You might then need to restart QuPath (but not your computer).
