How to Install Akrivi Plugins

Learn how to install your Akrivi Adobe plugin using the standard installer for Mac or Windows — and what to do if you run into issues.

Step 1: Unzip the Downloaded File

After purchasing and downloading your plugin, you’ll get a .zip file.

  • 📂 Right-click and unzip/extract it

  • Inside, you’ll find either a .pkg (Mac) or .exe (Windows) installer

🛑 Important: Close Adobe Illustrator before installing.

Step 2: Run the Native Installer

Use the installer that matches your system:

  • Mac: Open the .pkg file

  • Windows: Open the .exe file

    Follow the prompts to complete installation.


Step 3: Use ZXP Installer (alternative installation if needed)

If the native installer doesn’t work, you can try installing the .zxp version manually.


This method is a fallback and only recommended if the standard installer fails.

  1. Download a ZXP installer like Anastasiy's Extension Manager

  2. Drag your .zxp file into the installer window

  3. Wait for confirmation
