The plugin has been pre-packaged only for Win64 and Android.

Note
Starting with Unreal Engine version 5.6, it is recommended to use the new project type based on C++. After copying the plugin folder, be sure to perform a full project rebuild in your C++ IDE.
- Make sure the Unreal Engine editor is closed.
- Move the "Plugins" folder to the root folder of your created project.
- Rebuild the project in your C++ IDE.
- Done! The 'Component Dynamic Effects' folders should appear in the Unreal Engine browser and the plugin should be automatically activated. If the plugin folder is not visible, activate visibility through the browser settings:
Settings > Show Plugin Content.
