 ### Manual
 
-Copy the contents of `plugins/` into your KiCad scripting plugins directory:
-
-- **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\kicad\<version>\scripting\plugins\stm32_pin_validator\`
-- **Linux**: `~/.local/share/kicad/<version>/scripting/plugins/stm32_pin_validator/`
-- **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/kicad/<version>/scripting/plugins/stm32_pin_validator/`
+Copy the contents of `plugins/` into a `stm32_pin_validator` folder inside your KiCad scripting plugins directory. The plugins directory location depends on your OS and KiCad version — you can find it in KiCad under **Preferences > Configure Paths** (look for `KICAD_USER_PLUGIN_DIR`).
