Ok, well in that case you can navigate to the discourse directory on the command line and then run something like:

```plaintext
cd plugins
git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-solved

```

and it should work

Be very, very careful running a development instance if your VPS is accessible to the public - many security features are entirely disabled when running in development mode. For example, anyone can log in as any user without knowing their password!
