# Install the Salesforce Development Plugin

Install the Salesforce Development plugin, then connect a Salesforce DX project and development org.

Install Claude Code before you install the plugin. Install the other required tools before you use the plugin's workflows:

- Claude Code 2.1.222 or later
- A Node.js long-term support (LTS) release
- [Salesforce CLI](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_setup.meta/sfdx_setup/sfdx_setup_install_cli.htm)
- Python 3.8 or later

Direct access to the plugin requires Salesforce Foundations or an Agentforce license. Salesforce classifies plugin calls made through a coding agent as Builder usage and applies a billing exception.

Before installation, [review usage telemetry and privacy](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/salesforce-skills-plugins/guide/usage-telemetry-privacy.md).

1. Review the [Salesforce Development plugin listing](https://claude.com/plugins/salesforce-development) in the official Claude Plugin Marketplace and the [Salesforce Development plugin README](https://github.com/forcedotcom/sf-skills/tree/main/plugins/builder/salesforce-development#whats-included) for the current skills, commands, and component inventory.
2. From a terminal, run `claude plugin install salesforce-development@claude-plugins-official`.
3. Start a Claude Code session and run `/plugin` to verify that the plugin is installed.

Next, [set up a Salesforce DX project and development org](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/salesforce-skills-plugins/guide/set-up-salesforce-project-org.md).
