The location of this folder may vary depending on your LightWave 3D version and installation path, but it is usually something like this: C:\\Program Files\\NewTek\\LightWave_2019.1\\bin\\plugins or /Applications/NewTek/LightWave3D_2019.1/bin/plugins. After copying the files, launch LightWave 3D and go to Edit > Edit Plugins. Click on Scan Directory and select the plugins folder where you copied the files. You should see OctaneRender.p appear in the list of plugins. Click on Done to confirm.
