To install the Plugin, clone the repository into the "Plugins" folder of your Unreal Engine 4 Project. Moreover make sure to have the VA Server prepared.

Otherwise, add repository as submodule in the "Plugins" folder of your Unreal Engine 4 Project (``git submodule add https://devhub.vr.rwth-aachen.de/VR-Group/unreal-development/plugins/unreal-va-plugin.git Plugins/VAPlugin``.
Moreover make sure to have the VA Server prepared.
