If you want to follow the steps side by side you can .

  1. Create a backup of your current TiddlyWiki HTML file (just in case)
  2. Open your TiddlyWiki in a browser
  3. In another browser window, find a link to the plugin, e.g. https://tiddlywiki.com/plugins/tiddlywiki/katex. You will typically find these links on the home page of the plugin
  4. Drag the link similar to $:/plugins/tiddlywiki/example to the browser window containing your TiddlyWiki
  5. Import the new plugin shown in the $:/Import tiddler
  6. Save your TiddlyWiki ( )
  7. If a yellow warning bar appears at the top of the window, refresh the window so that TiddlyWiki completes installation of the plugin
    • Introduced in v5.1.22 It is no longer necessary to refresh TiddlyWiki when deleting plugins that support dynamic loading. See PluginMechanism for more details
  8. The plugin should now be available for use
