So I saw the post on how to install new plugins but I still am rather confused. Is there any video tutorials on how to do so?
Sorry to ask so many questions, I am still rather new to this software.

are you self-hosted? if so, what install did you do? standard docker?
if hosted by Discourse / CDCK you can contact the team. if hosted by another like Pavilion, you can contact them to do this.
