FAQ Desk: The missing plugin manager

[Claudia Frank]

Starting from notepad++ version 7.5 the plugin manager does not come bundled anymore.
Here you can see why this was decided.

But this doesn’t mean it cannot be used anymore.

Download the latest versions from here,
unzip it to the same directory where the notepad++ executable is and
start notepad++ - done.

It should be noted that there is a need that plugin manager and notepad++
must use the same architecture, means
PluginManager_vX.X.X_x64.zip for notepad++ 64bit and
PluginManager_vX.X.X_UNI.zip for 32bit version of notepad++.

To find out which notepad++ version is in use, see menu ?->About Notepad++ or press F1

The instructions for doing a manual install, which explains where to put the files after you download the zip, can be found at https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/bruderstein/nppPluginManager/blob/master/doc/index.html#install
