Server Version#: 1.12.1

I am looking for a way to set movies and tv shows to expire (delete from server) based on certain criteria. I was told it can be done to an extent on TV shows, but would like to see this for movies too. I found this plugin ([GitHub - cmsj/plexpiry: A tool for expiring content from a Plex server](https://github.com/cmsj/plexpiry)), but have no idea on how to install it and if it will even work anymore. It actually seems to do exactly what I am asking. Any advice or help on how to install this or if there is another way to go about doing what I am looking for?

I posted this on reddit too
