Directly you can’t use it. Plugins /public are not merged with main /public folder by default. Generally on deployment it is common to map only main /public but nobody exposes plugin’s to viewers.
You have to prepare rake task or generator which copies these files to apps /public folder.
Generally it may be possible to do some routing trickery but generally I’m not recommending it.
