Using puTTy to retrieve a plugin..
-
I am trying to install - nodebb-plugin-registration-notification - as it's not on the Plugin ACP area.
I followed this guide https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-npm-packages-locally but I am stuck here, is there an easy guide to follow for installing plugins? I have done coding for my wordpress site before, but this is definitely expert level compared! any help would be appreciated but ive logged my activity below if that helps

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nodebb-plugin-registration-notification
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/nodebb-plugin-registration-notificationThis indicates something went wrong with npm... nothing to do with NodeBB.
Try
npm cache cleanand thennpm i nodebb-plugin-registration-notification -

@julian I've tried downloading it another way via FileZilla.. i have had a look at the Node_Modules folder which shows the Plugin (But none of the other plugins I have installed from the ACP? Something is very weird)
Also although plugin shows in this folder, its not in the Active, Inactive or Find Plugins menus

@MBFTOM You've installed it at the wrong location. It's installed in your root directory, whereas you should install it in the directory of the NodeBB installation (that is, where the starter script is also located). When you run "npm install [pluginname]" there, it'll work
Good luck!

@JasperNL thanks for that, now I know where I went wrong
Are you free to assist with where I find the Directory of the NodeBB install? Eg what folder I am looking for?
Forgive me if that's a noob question, I've not messed with anything like this before
Thanks @JasperNL
EDIT: Found it! Great assistance
