How do I install the weather2D plugin?

I've been trying to install the weather2D plugin by pirachute,
(https://github.com/pirachute/godot-weather-2D)
however I haven't been able to get it working.
The scenes included there work, but the apparent weather node doesn't show up.
Overall the plugin doesn't even show up in Project Setting>Plugins.

I've searched everywhere already for a solution, unable to find anything.
It also doesn't help that I haven't really worked with Godot plugins yet.

Hello Maulve! I am sorry to answer so late... This is the first time I upload something to Github, so I'm not good at following up... I was just checking if by chance anybody was using it and I'm glad to see some people actually do!

DOWNLOAD:
I recommend you to download the project from GitHub:
https://github.com/pirachute/godot-weather-2D

INSTALL:
Copy inside your main project folder only the following folders:
assets
scenes
src
(If you don't copy these on your main project folder you might have some dependency problems to correct)

FOLDERS DESCRIPTION:
Assets: contains the sprites for the particles (in case you want to change them)
Scenes: are just sample scenes to test and understand how it works
Src: is where you find the nodes to actually use the "plugin"...

USE:

Insert a weather.tscn node in your scene to create the weather effect...
Select the weather node in your scene and in the inspector set the "Follow Node" to your player (so the weather effects follow your player)...
You can insert weatherCollider.tscn nodes to detect your player and change the weather conditions...

I hope it's useful!!

Best regards,
Diego
