Sorry, but we don’t support docker-less installs here. What I can recommend is re-installing it following [How to install Discourse in production](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-install-discourse-in-production/142537).

If you have a development installation, the plugins go in the `plugins` directory. You can then use git to pull in the latest versions. You might want to restart rails after that.
