Installing third-party plugins gives you extra functionality that isn't + available in default gedit plugins, or even the extra plugins that + are part of the gedit-plugins package. An online list of + third-party plugins is + kept here. +

+ +

Installing a third-party plugin involves downloading the plugin, placing + the plugin files in the right directory, and activating the plugin.

+ + +

You can usually download a plugin from the plugin's website, but + may need to use a revision-control program like git, + bazaar, or subversion to copy a plugin's software + repository from the internet. Refer to the plugin's documentation for + information on getting the plugin.

+

Place the plugin files into the + /home/username/.local/share/gedit/plugins directory. +

+

Of course, replace the word username with your own username. +

+

After you have placed the plugin files into the correct directory, + the plugin will appear in the Preferences menu. Press the menu button in the + top-right corner of the window and select + PreferencesPlugins[Name of Plugin] + to enable the plugin.

+

Click Close.

+
+ +

After you have enabled the plugin, it should be available for you to use. +

+ + +

The .local directory is hidden by default. To view it and + other hidden files, select ViewShow Hidden + Files, or press CtrlH. +

+
+ + +

If the directory .local/share/gedit/plugins/ is not + present on your system, you will need to create it.
