wp google site verification plugin

I attempted to install this plugin multiple times and was hopeful that it would function properly; it is the only one I found on search that did what I needed it to do and had a very recent update only 3 weeks ago.
Unfortunately, each time I tried to install, it returned a fatal error. I clear my browser cache, tried it in different browsers, all to no avail.
I am disappointed and hope it gets fixed as it looked to be a very useful plugin. As it is now, it is completely useless.
