# plugin register
The `plugin register` command registers a new plugin in Vault's plugin catalog.
The plugin's type of "auth", "database", or "secret" must be included.
## Examples
Register a plugin:
```shell-session
$ vault plugin register \
-sha256=d3f0a8be02f6c074cf38c9c99d4d04c9c6466249 \
auth my-custom-plugin
Success! Registered plugin: my-custom-plugin
```
Register a plugin with custom args:
```shell-session
$ vault plugin register \
-sha256=d3f0a8be02f6c074cf38c9c99d4d04c9c6466249 \
-args=--with-glibc,--with-curl-bindings \
auth my-custom-plugin
```
## Usage
The following flags are available in addition to the [standard set of
flags](/vault/docs/commands) included on all commands.
### Output options
- `-format` `(string: "table")` - Print the output in the given format. Valid
formats are "table", "json", or "yaml". This can also be specified via the
`VAULT_FORMAT` environment variable.
### Command options
- `-sha256` `(string: <required>)` - Checksum (SHA256) of the plugin binary.
- `-args` `(string: "")` - List of arguments to pass to the binary plugin during
each invocation. Specify multiple arguments with commas.
- `-command` `(string: "")` - Name of the command to run to invoke the binary.
By default, this is the name of the plugin.
- `-version` `(string: "")` - Semantic version of the plugin to run from
the catalog. If unspecified, refers to the unversioned plugin registered with
the same name and type, or the built-in plugin, in that order of precedence.
