Seeing your tag, Im guessing this your first time using MV? This video by Yanfly should help you understand how to install plugins.

On top of that, please read the how to set up on the bottom of Mog's page which I have linked, you can translate it with google translate. You'll have to copy those files to the correct places.

Unlike VXA, MV uses plugins like these, so it's good to get used to them.

Under your avatar, it says you primarily use VX Ace. Is that correct? Are you using Ace or MV?

If you're using Ace, you won't be able to use the plugins you've downloaded - you'll need to find a version for Ace.
The method to insert plugins in MV and to insert scripts in Ace are completely different as well.

Are you saying XVA can't run plugins?

That is correct, VXA cant use plugins, the programing language is completely different. What you'll be looking for are scripts instead, so if you are using VXA, you'll have to look in the vxa subforum for it.

MV uses plugins which are scripts written with javascript
VX Ace uses scripts written with RGSS3
VX uses scripts written with RGSS2
XP uses scripts written with RGSS1

RGSS1, 2 and 3 are all different versions of Ruby with a different structure to the database and different structure to the core scripts. Generally they are not interchangeable, and definitely not between MV and any other engine.

So you have to get scripts specifically for the one version of the engine you are using. And each of them has a different requests subforum here, so it's clear what you're after.
