Installing Plugins Offline
If you have already downloaded a plugin's .nbm file, you can manually install it without having to connect to an update center.
To install a plugin offline:
-
Choose Tools > Plugins from the main menu and select the Downloaded tab.
-
Click Add Plugins and browse to the location of the downloaded .nbm file. Select the file and click Open.
-
Repeat the previous step for each plugin that you wish to add.
-
Click Install and complete the pages of the installer to install the plugin.
-
If the plugin that you have selected in the file chooser does not appear in the Downloaded tab of the Plugin Manager, you probably have the same or a newer version of that plugin already installed. You can check the Installed tab to verify that the plugin is installed and activated.
