Installing and Configuring Plugins using the Plugin Repository Client

If the plugin you wish to install is listed in the Confluence Plugin Repository, you can use the Confluence Repository Client to install it. Just find the plugin in the list and click the 'install' link. There's more information in Installing and Configuring Plugins using the Plugin Repository Client.

Installing and Configuring Plugins Manually

If the plugin you wish to install is not listed in the Confluence Plugin Repository, you can still install it by uploading it to your Confluence site:

  1. In the 'Administration' section of Confluence, click the Plugin Repository link.
  2. Click the 'Upload' tab.
  3. Use the 'Browse' button to find the plugin jar you wish to install.
  4. Select the jar file and click 'Open'.
  5. The plugin will be uploaded from your machine to Confluence, and will be automatically installed.
