You first need to activate the Koha plugin system in file 
"/etc/koha/sites/$YOURINSTANCE/koha-conf.xml"and restart your Apache 
HTTP Server:

<pluginsdir>/var/lib/koha/$YOURINSTANCE/plugins</pluginsdir>
<enable_plugins>1</enable_plugins>

You will also have to activate Koha system preference "UseKohaPlugins".

Then you'll find the plugin option in Koha menu "Tools".

This is all described in the fine Koha manual:

Hope this helps.

Best wishes: Michael
