Hello All! I’m pretty new to Discourse. Could someone please give me some steps to installing plugins in the development install of Discourse? Would this be the same as the production methods? Thanks for the help! :slight_smile: Austin

I usually clone the plugin repository locally, and then create a symlink in the discourse/plugins directory.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the compatibility to clone plugins locally. Are there any other methods that I could use? Thanks! :wink:

You mean you have your dev environment setup on a file system without symlinks?

I’m new to all of this. Can you please explain to me what symlinks is?

I really don’t mean to sound rude, but I feel running discourse in dev would require enormous amount of learning for you, start with some basic books on Linux and Ruby

I’m familiar with using Discourse, just not the backend (installing, plugins, etc.)

How did you setup Discourse without having access to git to clone it? Plugins operate the same way in a dev environment. I think you will have a major uphill battle here if you are unable to do the basics necessary to have a true development instance operational.

Do I follow the same steps to install plugins as in the stable version of Discourse?

Yes I have, however, it keeps going down, so I’m checking with my host :slight_smile:

No, probably not.

How have you installed your development version of Discourse?
