How to install plugins in custom directory and use them #1219

I like having all my plugins in the .config/nvim directory itself, however, packer defaults to .local/nvim/... I found the packer.init and

package_root = '/home/username/.config/nvim/PackerPlugins'

option and it got packer to install in the correct directory, but I still can't use it. The plugin installs but I don't think it is "read" by packer or something. Where is the packer.init option to get packer to read the specific directory?
