How to get Octane Plugin?

All tutorials  in youtube I can find only shows the plugin already installed. None explain where to get it.

    Ok, I've installed it, but it gave me a couple of errors of not finding a few .dll. QtGui4.dll, QtCore4.dll, QtSql4.dll
    And there's no sign of octane in my DAZ. Not in the plugin list. Not in the window> panes.
    Though the octane folder is in the plugin folder.

    Ok, I able to install it. It turns out, it only works with the stable version of DAZ..

    When I saw the sheer number of controls and options, I thought to myself – Iray is a fast and relatively simple renderer to use, and with Photoshop, something similar that's free (there are some) and/or Lightroom (similar or free – that also exists), in short, I gave up on Octane. Nothing so far, from what I've seen, surpasses Iray. The drawback is the rendering time for certain heavier scenes, especially if you use lights to create volume with ground fog.

    I prefer Octane but not the DAZ Studio plugin 

    I use the paid for version 4 I bought prior to the subscription model with the Carrara plugin

    it's fully integrated in Carrara whereas the D|S one is an awkward addon
