Rebuilding after plugin installation

clouds

Hello to everyone. I have a question.
Installing the plugin, Restarting NodeBB as instructed. However, I have to rebuilding NodeBB every time to access the plugin settings page. Is this normal? Or did I do something wrong while installing.

Thanks.

I followed the instructions mentioned in this article. But I installed nodejs 12 version mondb 4.4 version.

Okay here's how I've interpreted the sequence of events:

You install plugin from ACP
You restart NodeBB
You try to access plugin page but it doesn't work
You perform a rebuild
Then you can access the plugin page

Is that correct? You only have to rebuild once for each time you install a plugin?

His interpretation is absolutely correct. Yes, I have to rebuilding nodebb for every plugin.

This is expected behavior. After installing and activating a plugin, you are supposed to Rebuild & Restart. There's a special button in the ACP to perform this.

Then there is no problem. Thank you for your answers.
