Install plugin manually
If the plugin you want to install is not listed in the Plugins Admin, you may still install it manually. The plugin DLL file should be placed in the plugins subfolder of the Notepad++ Install Folder, under the subfolder with the same name of plugin binary name without file extension.

For example, if the plugin you want to install is named myAwesomePlugin.dll, you should install it with one of the following paths:

%PROGRAMFILES%\Notepad++\plugins\myAwesomePlugin\myAwesomePlugin.dll ⇒ normal 64bit installation
%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Notepad++\plugins\myAwesomePlugin\myAwesomePlugin.dll ⇒ normal 32bit installation
<portable notepad++ directory>\plugins\myAwesomePlugin\myAwesomePlugin.dll ⇒ portable edition
Once you installed the plugin, you can use (and you may configure) it via the menu “Plugins”.

If you are installing a plugin manually, please check the instructions or other documentation for that specific plugin, to see if you need to put other files in appropriate locations.
