 # Spin `command` Trigger
 
 This is a very simple Spin trigger that executes the WASI main function.
+
+## Installation
+
+The trigger is installed as a Spin plugin. It can be installed from a release or build.
+
+To install from a release, reference a plugin manifest from a [release](https://github.com/fermyon/spin-trigger-command/releases). For example, to install the canary release:
+
+```sh
+spin plugins install --from https://github.com/fermyon/spin-trigger-command/releases/download/canary/trigger-command.json
+```
+
+Alternatively, use the `spin pluginify` plugin to install from a fresh build. This will use the pluginify manifest (`spin-pluginify.toml`) to package the plugin and proceed to install it:
+
+```sh
+spin plugins install pluginify
+cargo build --release
+spin pluginify install
+```
