# Open your TiddlyWiki in a browser
# In another browser window, find a link to the plugin, e.g. [[$:/plugins/tiddlywiki/example]]. You will typically find these links on the home page of the plugin (for example, https://tiddlywiki.com/plugins/tiddlywiki/katex/)
# Drag the link [[$:/plugins/tiddlywiki/example]] to the browser window containing your TiddlyWiki
# Save your TiddlyWiki ({{$:/core/images/save-button}})
# ''Refresh the page so that TiddlyWiki loads the new plugin'' ({{$:/core/images/refresh-button}})
# The plugin should now be available for use
