Ghostery

I upgraded to Safari 12.0 and now Ghostery isn't working. When I try to open it, I get a window that says to go to Safari extensions. Once there, it says that Ghostery has been installed, and indeed it's in my downloads. But it won't open, I just get that window again. How can I get Ghostery to be active again? I miss it!!

iMac, iOS 10.12.6

Thanks for the speedy reply. Alas, the URL you give is the same page I've been to, but it just says "Installed." But previously I couldn't find it on my computer at all, except in downloads. When I tried Safari/Preferences/Extensions as you suggested and found that Ghostery WAS there but not checked. I "enabled" it and PRESTO! Thanks so much! Clearly I'm not very techie, and you've solved the problem.
