Unless you are using Corona Enterprise, you don’t have to download anything. You simply include the right code in your build.settings. Then include the right code in your application.

See this tutorial:  https://coronalabs.com/blog/2014/07/08/tutorial-understanding-build-settings/

It will help you understand build.settings and where to put in the proper plugin code.

Now most plugins will only work when you install your app on a device since they require SDK’s that are only available on iOS and Android. For instance the Facebook plugin won’t work in the Simulator or an OS-X desktop app. You have to build and test on a real device to use them.
