h1. Plugins
h2. Plugin list
A full list of available Redmine plugins can be found at the "Plugin Directory":/plugins.
More plugins (some in very early development), which are not listed at the "Plugin Directory":/plugins but are publicly available on "GitHub":http://github.org, can be found using a "search like this":http://github.com/search?type=Repositories&language=&q=redmine&repo=&langOverride=&x=0&y=0&start_value=1.
h2. Installing a plugin
1. Copy your plugin directory into @#{RAILS_ROOT}/plugins@ (Redmine 2.x) or @#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins@ (Redmine 1.x). If you are downloading the plugin directly from GitHub, you can do so by changing into your plugin directory and issuing a command like @git clone git://github.com/user_name/name_of_the_plugin.git@.
2. If the plugin requires a migration, run the following command to upgrade your database (make a db backup before):
rake db:migrate_plugins RAILS_ENV=production
3. Restart Redmine
./ctlscript.sh restart redmine
You should now be able to see the plugin list in _Administration -> Plugins_ and configure the newly installed plugin (if the plugin requires to be configured).
h2. Uninstalling a plugin
1. If the plugin required a migration, run the following command to downgrade your database (make a db backup before):
rake db:migrate:plugin NAME=plugin_name VERSION=0 RAILS_ENV=production
2. Remove your plugin from the plugins folder: @#{RAILS_ROOT}/plugins@ (Redmine 2.x) or @#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins@ (Redmine 1.x)..
3. Restart Redmine
h2. Writing plugins
There is a step-by-step [[Plugin_Tutorial|tutorial]] about writing a plugin. Some more (detailed) information is collected and stored in the "[[Plugin_Internals|plugin internals]]" page.
More (general) developer information can be found in the [[Guide#Developer-guide|Redmine Developer Guide]].
