    ``~/.qgis2/python/plugins/timeseriesviewerplugin``
    
        Alternatively, you can choose any other folder ``my/qgis/plugins/timeseriesviewerplugin`` if your ensure that it is known to the QGIS_PLUGINPATH:

    ## B. Developers ##
    You really want to use [git](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29) to install and update the viewer.
    
    If git is not available in your shell, you can download it from [https://git-scm.com/downloads](https://git-scm.com/downloads). You can install git without admin rights.
    
    Larger binary files, e.g. for exemplary data, will are distributed via the Git Large File Storage (lfs) extension [https://git-lfs.github.com](https://git-lfs.github.com).
    
    
    1. Open your shell and clone the repository into a local QGIS Python Plugin Folder
    
            cd %USERPROFILE%\.qgis2\python\plugins
            git clone https://bitbucket.org/jakimowb/hub-timeseriesviewer.git
    
    2. Checkout the development branch (this might change with the fist stable master version)
            git checkout development
            git lfs checkout
    
    3. Start QGIS, go to Plugins -> Manage and Install and enable the "HUB TimeSeriesViewer" Plugin
    4. Download updates if available
    
            cd %USERPROFILE%\.qgis2\python\plugins\hub-timeseriesviewer
            git pull
