# Old Method {#sec-old-method}
Prior to version 0.5, the method of adding new plugins was adding the plugin package to `vim.startPlugins` and add
its configuration as a DAG under `vim.configRC` or `vim.luaConfigRC`. Users who have not yet updated to 0.5, or prefer
a more hands-on approach may use the old method where the load order of the plugins is determined by DAGs.
## Adding plugins {#sec-adding-plugins}
To add a plugin to neovim-flake's runtime, you may add it
```nix
{pkgs, ...}: {
# add a package from nixpkgs to startPlugins
vim.startPlugins = [
pkgs.vimPlugins.aerial-nvim ];
}
```
And to configure the added plugin, you can use the `luaConfigRC` option to provide configuration
as a DAG using the neovim-flake extended library.
```nix
{inputs, ...}: let
# assuming you have an input called neovim-flake pointing at the neovim-flake repo
inherit (inputs.neovim-flake.lib.nvim.dag) entryAnywhere;
in {
vim.luaConfigRC.aerial-nvim= entryAnywhere ''
require('aerial').setup {
-- your configuration here
}
'';
}
```
