How to install the Plesk Cgroups Manager resource controller in Plesk?

Since Plesk Obsidian 18.0.41, the Cgroups Manager has become a free-to-use feature, and a default addition to the Plesk Web Pro and Web Host editions.
This means that it may already be preinstalled on your Plesk server.
The easiest way to check if it is preinstalled is to go to Plesk > Service Plans > PLAN_NAME and check if you see a RAM, CPU, Disk I/O tab:
