There are also instructions on installing plugins in the QGIS documentation - if you choose to follow the QGIS documentation, the plugin is called "TUFLOW" in the repository:<br><br>

==QGIS Version==
<bold>''A note on QGIS version:''</bold><br>
Although the plugin has been developed to have consistent behaviour across QGIS versions, it is not always possible and / or QGIS developments and behaviour changes have lead to TUFLOW Viewer behaviour also changing either through necessity or to keep in-line with the QGIS development direction. The below is a current list of known behaviour changes due to QGIS version:<br>
<ol>
<li> '''Date-time format within TUFLOW Viewer''' - QGIS 3.14 introduced the '''temporal controller'''<br>
* prior to QGIS 3.14, TUFLOW Viewer stored all results internally as relative time and the user could display as date-time by changing '''zero time''' in '''Settings >> Options'''
* QGIS 3.14, TUFLOW Viewer tried to mimmick the behaviour of previous versions but the reference time could also be altered natively in the mesh layer '''Properties'''. Note on this version, this is the first QGIS release with the '''temporal controller''' and as a consequence some of the functionality and behaviour wasn't fully fleshed out yet. Users may experience strange behaviour when using TUFLOW Viewer with the version if using date-time format. It is recommended to upgrade to later versions of QGIS if date-time format is required.
* post QGIS 3.14 TUFLOW Viewer stored all results internally as absolute time and the user should only change the reference time in the native properties of the mesh layer. Zero time now only changes how the relative time is displayed in TUFLOW Viewer and doesn't change the mesh layer reference time.
