      I keep getting a message that pork2sausage is not installed.
      I found a Github site, “https://github.com/npp-plugins/pork2sausage” from which pork2sausage could be downloaded. I don’t really understand how to use Github, but I was able to find a link that allowed me to download a zip, “pork2sausage-master.zip”. Now, I can’t find any instructions for how to add/install it to Notepad++.

      Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
      Marc

        If you need it, install it via the Plugins Admin

          The real question is, what would be causing that message?

          I’ve never seen a message that a particular plugin isn’t installed. Do you have another plugin that relies on the pork2sausage plugin? (Maybe Customize Toolbar tried to put a button on the toolbar from that plugin, or something?)

          Now, I can’t find any instructions for how to add/install it to Notepad++

          Notepad++'s ?-Menu has a link to the Online User Manual, which has a page called Extend Functionality With Plugins which has a section on how to Install using Plugins Admin followed by how to Install plugin manually. The “Plugins Admin” section describes what @Ekopalypse said; the “Install plugin manually” explains how to install it from the zipfile you downloaded.

            I guess this will not work because the TO wrote

            a link that allowed me to download a zip, “pork2sausage-master.zip”

            Thus, the downloaded file likely is a ZIP file containing the whole GitHub repository with all source code files which is not suitable for installing the plugin. For this purpose @Marc-Hankin you should click to the red marked link at the project’s GitHub site

            a097cfbc-5c2f-490f-8494-640e9007ac95-grafik.png

            which will open the release section of the project’s site. There you will see the following:

            The first 3 files in that list are installable following the “Install plugin manually” section of the Notepad++ user manual. You should download the one that matches the CPU architecture of your computer and the bitness of your Windows operating system:

            • arm64 -> CPU architecture ARM, operating system bitness doesn’t matter (no different bitnesses), choose this if you run a Microsoft Surface device
            • x64 -> CPU architecture Intel x86 compatible with AMD64 extension, operating system bitness 64 bit, choose this if you run a PC with a 64 bit version of Windows
            • no postfix -> CPU architecture Intel x86 compatible with or without AMD64 extension, operating system bitness 32 bit, choose this if you run a PC with a 32 bit version of Windows

            To learn how to figure out the bitness of your Windows installation please search the internet with your prefered search engine.
