The
TwikiUpgradeGuide, in the Install Extensions section, says:
"Manual installation is possible. Follow the instruction on the plugin page at twiki.org".
I looked in
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWikiPlugins and
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/WebHome but I didn't see any mention of how to install plugins manually. Where is this mentioned?
The reason I'm asking is because I have ~20 plugins, and installing them manually in a new Twiki is a big pain.

Discussion and Answer
Most plugins should have the instructions how to manually install. Basically two choices:
- Unpack into twiki directory tree, while preserving the directory structure. Fix file ownership of the unpacked files to be owned by webserver user.
- Or, run the ...Plugin_installer.pl to install.
Hmm, TWiki.org docs should be updated.
