How to install plugins

Using the interface

The simplest way is by going to your installation's management screen and clicking there "manage plugins". (http://yourhost/hudson/pluginManager). The web interface will then download *.hpi files from here, you will just need to restart your Hudson to pick up the changes.

By hand

Download Site

Save the downloaded *.hpi file into the $HUDSON_HOME/plugins directory. You will need then to restart Hudson (many containers let you do this without restarting the container.)

Caveat: the names of the plugin directories on the download site are not always matching the name given to the plugin; common sense should apply.
