Please read the section at the top of this page:

>> how to install it (tutorial to download and install)???

Since Cacti 0.8.7i, plugin architecture (v3.1) is bundled in Cacti itself. New PIA is not supplied separately.

1) Download and unpack "Cacti with Plugin Architecture"
2) Configure database, make sure directory permissions, etc.
3) Edit 'include/config.php'
4) Import cacti.sql into your Cacti DB
5) Open http://server/cacti/ via browser then install Cacti, add poller task to crontab, etc.
6) Enable "Plugin Management" at 'User Management -> admin -> Realm Permissions'
7) Place particular plugin files under plugins/ directory and activate it from GUI

General installation procedure for 0.8.7x is here.
