Manual Plugin Installation

Need to install a custom plugin that's not available in the Plugin Store? This happens when you're developing your own plugin or someone has shared a custom plugin with you. TagoCore offers two convenient ways to manually install plugins:

Method 1: Quick Install via Sidebar​

The fastest way to install a custom plugin is through TagoCore's interface:

  1. Look for the    puzzle piece icon in the sidebar
  2. Click the icon to open the plugin installer
  3. Browse and select the folder containing your plugin (the folder should have a package.json file)
  4. TagoCore will automatically install and activate the plugin

This method is perfect for testing plugins during development or quickly adding plugins shared by others.

Method 2: Configure via Settings File​

For permanent installation or when managing multiple plugins, you can add them directly to TagoCore's configuration:

Locate Your Configuration File​

Find the tagocore.yml file in your TagoCore settings folder:

  • Windows: TagoCore folder in your user directory
  • Mac/Linux: .tagocore folder in your user directory (hidden folder)

Add Plugin Paths​

Open the tagocore.yml file and add your plugin paths to the custom_plugins section:

custom_plugins:
  - /path_to_your_plugin/folder_plugin_one
  - /path_to_your_plugin/folder_plugin_two

Replace the example paths with the actual folder paths where your plugins are located. After saving the file, restart TagoCore to load the new plugins.
