Using puTTy to retrieve a plugin..

[root@centos-2gb-lon1-01 ~]# npm install nodebb-plugin-registration-notification
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nodebb-plugin-registration-notification
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/nodebb-plugin-registration-notification

This indicates something went wrong with npm... nothing to do with NodeBB.

Try npm cache clean and then npm i nodebb-plugin-registration-notification

Plugin is installed now.

MBFTOM

@julian its nowhere to be seen on my dashboard area, and its not on the acp area?

is there a step i need to do before it shows up?

i appreciate your help

MBFTOM

@julian do the plugins have to be enabled via a certain line of code?

not showing on actice/inactive plugins.
thanks

julian

Once installed you have to activate them in the ACP. Then rebuild NodeBB assets and restart NodeBB.

MBFTOM

@julian plugin doesn't show under any of the lists in the ACP

MBFTOM

@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!

MBFTOM

@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
