B. How to manually install a plugin for DokuWiki

1. Search and download the plugin from the DokuWiki website @ https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugins

2. Unpack the plugin’s archive on your computer.

3. Open the file plugin.info.txt and identify the line starting with base. Notice the value on the right. One example:

base    googleanalytics
author  Terence J. Grant
email   tjgrant@tatewake.com
date    2020-11-03
name    Google Analytics Plugin 1.1.0
desc    Plugin to embed your Google Analytics code for your site, which allows you to track your visitors.
url     https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:googleanalytics

In our example the base value is googleanalytics . This will be the name of the folder inside the /plugins/ directory where you must put the plugin’s files.

4. Connect to your installation via FTP or a File Manager and upload the contents of the archive to the path

dokuwiki-installation-directory/lib/plugins/base-value/

In our example:

dokuwiki-installation-directory/lib/plugins/googleanalytics/

5. The plugin is now installed and can be accessed from the administration area.
