# Installation

Installing the BAL plugin takes four steps:

1. **Install the latest version of Electrum** (Bitcoin wallet) from [electrum.org](https://electrum.org).
2. **Install the BAL plugin**: download the files from the [Bitcoin-after.life](https://bitcoin-after.life) site (or via the links on the Bitcointalk forum) and copy them into the Electrum plugins folder.
3. **Activate the plugin** from the Electrum menu: `Tools → Plugins → BAL`.
4. **Restart Electrum.**

After restarting, two new tabs appear in the Electrum interface: **HEIRS** and **WILL**.

!!! tip "Defaults are fine"
    You can leave the default plugin parameters: they are more than fine for 99% of inheritance cases.
