# Publish a Plugin

There are several ways to publish a [Pytest] plugin.

Essentially Pytest plugins are not different from any other Python Package, so
you may want to create a distribution and submit it to the Python Package Index ([PyPI]).

By doing so, enables your users to easily install via ``easy-install`` or ``pip``.

Please see the official [Python Packaging User Guide] for detailed information.
