# Initialize Development Tools
Before start to develop Dify plugins please prepare the following prerequisites:
* Dify plugin scaffolding tool
* Python environment, version ≥ 3.12
> The Dify plugin development scaffolding tool, also known as `dify-plugin-daemon`, can be regarded as a plugin development SDK.
### **1. Installing the Dify Plugin Development Scaffolding Tool**
Visit the [Dify plugin GitHub page](https://github.com/langgenius/dify-plugin-daemon/releases) and select and download the version suitable for your operating system.
Using **macOS with M-series chips** as an example: Download the `dify-plugin-darwin-arm64` file from the project address mentioned above. Then, in the terminal, navigate to the file's location and grant it execution permissions:
```
chmod +x dify-plugin-darwin-arm64
```
Run the following command to verify successful installation.
```
./dify-plugin-darwin-arm64 version
```
> If the system shows an "Apple cannot verify" error, go to **Settings → Privacy & Security → Security**, and click the "Open Anyway" button.
After running the command, the installation is successful, if the terminal returns version information like `v0.0.1-beta.15`.

**Tips:**
If you want to use the `dify` command globally in your system to run the scaffolding tool, it's recommended to rename the binary file to `dify` and copy it to the `/usr/local/bin` system path.
After configuration, entering the `dify version` command in the terminal will output the version number.
