You will need to manually install a plugin if you:

• Want to install a beta version of a plugin listed on a forum thread
• Want to install a plugin you downloaded somewhere else off the internet
• Are developing your own plugin

To install a plugin using the Calibre gui:

1. Download the plugin zip file, taking care that it is not unzipped or touched by any antivirus or download managers you use.
2. In Calibre choose Preferences->Plugins. Click the Load plugin from file button (Calibre 0.8.6 or later) or Add new plugin button (Calibre 0.8.5 or earlier) to browse to your plugin .zip file and click OK.
3. You may then be asked which toolbars/menus you would like the plugin to appear on if it is designed to have a user interface. Take care to put it on all you require, remember that there are different toolbars and menus for while your device is connected. You can always change your mind later using Preferences->Toolbar to change your selections.
4. Restart Calibre after installing a plugin. Ctrl+R is a convenient shortcut for this.
5. As discussed above, your plugin may need further customisation using Customize plugin from Preferences->Plugins or the Plugin Updater dialog.

To install a plugin using the command line:

1. Download the plugin zip file, taking care that it is not unzipped or touched by any antivirus or download managers you use.
2. Close Calibre if it is currently running.
3. From a command prompt, type calibre-customize -a "My Plugin Name.zip"
4. Start Calibre and go to Preferences->Toolbar if you want to add it to a toolbar or menu for the first time.
