Installing Pidgin Plugins

Okay I'm new here and just started using fedora earlier in the week.
How do I go about installing plug-ins for pidgin.
I already have the .tar.gz file with the plugin in.
Thanks in advance

And the full name of that .tar.gz file would be.... ?????
And you got it from.... ?????

To look at the contents of that file: tar tzvf name_of_file.tar.gz
To extract the contents of that file: tar xzvf name_of_file.tar.gz
