@Tatezi - try this
  • Preferences->Advanced (bottom row)->Plugins->Get new plugins (button);
  • Find required plugin -- Filter Box top right, or sort by Plugin Name (click column header);
  • Double click required PI - you may be invited to customise or add plugin to toolbar -- put it in Main to start with;
  • Eventually you'll be asked to Restart calibre -- do so.
If PI is not in toolbar you may need to add it via Preferences->Interface (top row)->Toolbars. Not all plugins can be put into toolbars, eg metadata source plugins are accessed via Preferences->Sharing (fourth row)->Metadata download (or in Metadata Edit).

If you think the PIs are really not being installed
  • Use Preferences(dropdown menu)->Restart in debug mode.
  • When cailibre restarts you'll get a popup message - click OK.
  • Quit calibre, and a log will be shown in default text editor
  • Copy the log to clipboard (ctrl/a, ctrl/c)
  • Paste clipboard (ctrl/v) into a new post here
