|-
|| 00:01
|| Welcome to this tutorial on '''Plugins''' in '''QGIS.
|-
|| 00:06
|| In this tutorial, we will learn to,

Enable '''Core Plugins'''.

|-
|| 00:13
|| Install an '''External Plugin'''.

|-
|| 00:16
|| Locate a '''Plugin''' on '''QGIS''' interface.

|-
|| 00:20
|| Install '''QuickMapServices Plugin'''.
|-
||00:23
|| Download '''OpenStreetMap data'''.

|-
|| 00:26
|| Use '''QuickOSM Plugin '''to convert '''OSM data''' to '''shapefile'''.

|-
|| 00:32
|| View 3D visualization of a map '''layer''' using '''Qgis2threejs Plugin'''.
|-
|| 00:39
|| To record this tutorial, I am using

'''Ubuntu Linux '''OS version 16.04

|-
|| 00:47
|| '''QGIS '''version 2.18

|-
|| 00:51
|| '''Mozilla Firefox '''browser 54.0 and

|-
|| 00:55
|| A working '''Internet '''connection
|-
|| 00:58

|-
|| 01:12
|| About '''plugins''',

|-
|| 01:14
|| '''QGIS Plugins''' add useful features to the software.

|-
|| 01:19
|| They are written by developers and other independent users.

|-
|| 01:24
|| '''Plugins''' option is available on the menu bar on the '''QGIS''' interface.

|-
|| 01:30
|| '''Plugins''' have the ability to, insert menu items at various locations on the interface and create new panels and toolbars.
|-
|| 01:42
|| Here I have opened '''QGIS''' interface.

|-
|| 01:46
|| Click on '''Plugins''' on the menu bar.

|-
|| 01:50
|| From the drop-down, select '''Manage and Install plugins'''.

|-
|| 01:55
|| '''Plugins''' dialog-box opens.

|-
|| 01:58
|| Here you find menus which allow the user to enable/disable, install/uninstall and upgrade '''plugins'''.

|-
|| 02:08
|| You can use the filters on the left panel to find a specific '''plugin'''.

|-
||02:14
|| By default '''All''' menu is selected.

|-
|| 02:18
|| Please read the information given on the right-panel.

|-
|| 02:22
|| Here all the available '''plugins''' are listed.

|-
|| 02:25
|| This includes '''Core plugins''' and external '''plugins'''.
|-
|| 02:30
|| Click on the '''Installed''' menu from the left panel.

|-
|| 02:34
|| Read the instructions given on the right panel.

|-
|| 02:38
|| Click on the check-box or double-click on the name to activate or deactivate the '''plugin'''.
|-
|| 02:45
|| '''Plugins''' installed on your ''' QGIS''' are listed here.

|-
|| 02:50
|| Some of these '''plugins''' are '''Core plugins''' installed during '''QGIS''' installation.

|-
|| 02:57
|| In order to use a '''Core plugin''', we need to enable or activate the '''plugin'''.
|-
|| 03:03
|| Let us locate '''Processing plugin'''.

|-
|| 03:06
|| In the '''search bar''' type '''Processing.'''

|-
|| 03:10
|| The name appears below the '''search bar'''.

|-
|| 03:13
|| Click on the name of the''' plugin'''.

|-
|| 03:16
|| You will see its details on the right panel.
|-
|| 03:20
|| '''Processing plugin''' is a '''Core plugin'''.

|-
|| 03:23
|| Click on the check-box next to the '''plugin''' name, to enable or activate the '''plugin'''.

|-
|| 03:30
|| Close the '''Plugins''' dialog-box.
|-
|| 03:33
|| '''Processing''' plugin is now enabled on the menu bar.
|-
|| 03:37
|| Again open the '''Plugins''' dialog-box.

|-
|| 03:41
|| Clear the '''search bar''' and type, '''Spatial Query.'''

|-

|-
|| 03:50
|| This '''plugin''' is already enabled.
|-
||03:54
||Click on the name of the '''plugin'''.

|-
|| 03:57
|| This is '''Core plugin''' which is installed during '''QGIS''' installation.

|-
|| 04:03
|| '''Core plugins''' can only be enabled or disabled.

|-
|| 04:08
|| They cannot be uninstalled from '''QGIS'''.

|-
|| 04:12
|| Hence the buttons are not highlighted here.
|-
|| 04:16
|| In the '''plugin''' description, the '''Category''' is '''Vector'''.

|-
|| 04:20
|| Which means we can find this '''plugin''' in the '''Vector''' menu once it is enabled.

Close the dialog-box.
|-
|| 04:29
|| '''Spatial Query''' tool is available in the '''Vector''' menu and also as tool on the tool bar.

|-
