Notepad v7 6 includes a Plugin Admin and from this you can install Plugin Manager note1  but it doesn t work fine with npp v7 6 note2   On the other hand Plugin Admin is only available on NPP  Setup version  and after following conditions   on Custom installation   Plugin Admin  checkbox is enabled on Choose Components  Don t use  APPDATA   checkbox is disabled   Plugin Admin will place plugins at  C  ProgramData Notepad   plugins   note1 Installation from Plugin Admin is not complete and  updater gpup exe is missing  note2  Plugin manager is not using new plugins path and folder structure  from version 7 6 npp Plugins will be stored in individual folders  having same name than file dll    If you want to use npp7 6 portable  you can copy updater folder from Setup version  copy plugins from Setup version  or copy Plugins from npp v lt 7 6 and place each one in a individual folder

The way to install plugins seems to have changed  the previous answers here did not work for me   The current  checked with 7 8 1  way to install plugins is to install it in a sub folder      The plugin  in the DLL form  should be placed in the plugins subfolder of the Notepad   Install Folder  under the subfolder with the same name of plugin binary name without file extension  For example  if the plugin you want to install named myAwesomePlugin dll  you should install it with the following path   PROGRAMFILES x86   Notepad   plugins myAwesomePlugin myAwesomePlugin dll   from https   npp-user-manual org docs plugins   So PluginManager dll goes into PluginManager sub folder

As of Notepad   version 7 5  plugin manager is no longer shipped with Notepad   From the Notepad   release notes   You may notice that Plugin Manager plugin has been removed from the official distribution  The reason is Plugin Manager contains the advertising in its dialog  I hate Ads in applications  and I ensure you that there was no  and there will never be Ads in Notepad    A built-in Plugin Manager is in progress  and I will do my best to ship it with Notepad   ASAP   If the above doesn t put you off  and you want to proceed and install the plugin manager anyway  it looks like there s a GitHub repository for nppPluginManager - though I haven t personally used it  so cannot comment on it s validity  The nppPluginManager installation instructions state   To install the plugin manager  simply download  links below  the  zip  and place the PluginManager dll file in the Notepad   plugins directory  and the gpup exe in the updater directory under your Notepad   program directory   e g   quot C  Program Files Notepad   updater quot   In fact  if you prefer  you can just add the PluginManager dll to the plugins directory  then do a reinstall of Plugin Manager from the plugin itself  which will place the file in the right place  Of course  if you re already using an earlier version of the plugin manager  you ll be able to just update from the update tab  or when you get the notification that the update has happened    The GitHub repository also contains the latest release
