How do I install a plugin from file?
I've installed calibre 5.43 on a fresh install of debian bullseye on a laptop using the sudo wget ... command. That went well.

Next I tried to install a plugin from file, which I've done a number of times over the years. I can not find the install from file option.

The pluging instructions say:
Code:
Preferences > Plugins > Load plugin from file
I only get as far as Preferences > Plugins and can not find anything remotely resembling loading anything from a file.

calibre's help says (for installing any plugin):
Code:
Preferences -> Advanced -> Plugins
and there is no Advanced option (that I can find) under Preferences

I have run out of things to try.

How do I install a plugin from the plugins zip file?

Thanks.

Thanks, but I have had the bad luck to be doing this after 5.43 came out.

You need to click the Preferences icon or select "Change calibre behavior" from the dropdown menu or type Control-P to get the main preferences menu. Then select Plugins at the bottom left to get the dialog that Sirtel posted.

Thank you, I had been clicking the upside down triangle on the right of the preferences button.

Clicking on the Change calibre behavior option would get you to Preferences.
