Hey guys. So I started with Discourse a couple of days ago and today I tried to install some plugin but couldn’t make it work. I followed [this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-a-plugin/19157) tutorial and when I get to the final stage and should have to rebuild the app I got the error `./launcher: No such file or directory` notice that my /discourse is not in /var but in /Github dir so I don’t know if it’s matter. This is my first Ruby program I working on and having a rough time. Hope you could help me! Thank you!

Yes, it matters. Replace the `cd /var/discourse` with the actual location of your files.

Yes this is actually what I did. Instead of `cd /var/discourse` I did `cd /Github/discourse` because my files are there. And this is the error I get when trying to rebuild the app from this dir.

what files are in that directory? And did you do a Discourse install via Docker? If so, then do you have a `/Github/docker` folder (judging by your aforementioned structure)?

files in this dir :
Brewfile discourse.sublime-project
CONTRIBUTING.md docs
COPYRIGHT.txt images
Gemfile jsapp
Gemfile.lock lib
LICENSE.txt log
Procfile package.json
README.md packaging
Rakefile plugins
Vagrantfile public
adminjs script
app spec
bin test
config tmp
[config.ru](http://config.ru) vendor
d yarn.lock
and no I installed via Vagrant using [this](https://blog.discourse.org/2013/04/discourse-as-your-first-rails-app/) tutorial. My discourse app is still on localhost.

So I am not familiar with using Vagrant, but you wouldn’t use `./launcher` to reload as that’s a Docker command - which is why it’s not in the directory.

Then the plugin tutorial is completely wrong for your environment – that’s for “standard” installs. In a development install you should run `git clone` in the `plugins` folder.
