| -------------- | ----------------- | -------------- |
| 8.x.x | \>=8.x.x | Active support |
## Installation[ΒΆ](#installation "Permanent link")
You can use our **AI-Assisted Setup** to install the plugin. Add the [Capawesome Skills](https://github.com/capawesome-team/skills) to your AI tool using the following command:
`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-1)npx skills add capawesome-team/skills --skill capacitor-plugins
`
Then use the following prompt:
`` [](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-1-1)Use the `capacitor-plugins` skill from `capawesome-team/skills` to install the `@capawesome-team/capacitor-android-battery-optimization` plugin in my project.
``
If you prefer **Manual Setup**, install the plugin by running the following commands and follow the platform-specific instructions below:
`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-2-1)npm install @capawesome-team/capacitor-android-battery-optimization
[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-2-2)npx cap sync
`
