If you want to install this plugin with Composer, note that this package has a specific type (wordpress-muplugin) for a direct installation into the mu-plugins/ directory (like in Bedrock).
After installation
If the plugin is in the WordPress mu-plugins/ directory, you do not need to do something special to activate it.
You just need to create a manifest.json file in your theme's root directory to use it.
If the plugin is in the WordPress plugins/ directory, do not forget to activate it in the WordPress admin panel and create the manifest.json file in your theme's root directory.
Manifest JSON or YAML file
Once you created the JSON or YAML file in your theme's root directory, you can use in this file all features described in this project's wiki.
