The "Install" button will now show a spinner while the plugin is downloading. When downloading has completed, a licence agreement dialog will be shown. Click "Agree" to finish the installation.

Now Cura will need to be restarted in order to activate the plugin. Click "Quit Ultimaker Cura" in the Marketplace dialog and then start Cura again yourself.

After restarting, you can confirm that the plugin is installed in the "Installed" tab of the Marketplace. On this page, you can also uninstall the plugin again by clicking "Uninstall".
