How to install plugin locally?

[SuperMike]

Hi,

I developed a plugin which communicates with another local system. And I just want to install it locally since it's useless for others.

I found from doc that

“installing” a plugin by placing it in the /plugins folder is still supported. This feature may be deprecated in later versions of NodeBB

So we have to publish it in npm ?

@SuperMike You can copy the plugin to the node_modules folder.

Installing plugins directly into node_modules/ will not be deprecated, as that is how regular plugins are installed
