title: Installing custom plugins on Node.js

There are several ways in which custom plugins that are not part of TiddlyWiki's plugin library can be installed when using TiddlyWiki under Node.js. (See [[Installing a plugin from the plugin library]] for instructions on installing plugins from the library).
|
|
|
|
* Arrange the PluginFolders containing the plugins in a convenient shared location and then use [[environment variables|Environment Variables on Node.js]] to tell TiddlyWiki to search those folders. The plugins can be referenced in `tiddlywiki.info` by their name (e.g. `tiddlytools/magic`)
|
|
* Place the PluginFolders containing the plugins in a `plugins` folder within the [[wiki folder|TiddlyWikiFolders]]. TiddlyWiki will attempt to include every subfolder as a plugin. Do not add the plugin names to `tiddlywiki.info`. Do not add the PluginFolders under a specific namespace:<br><pre>.

|
|
* Depending on how TiddlyWiki itself has been installed, plugins can also be installed by copying the plugin folders into the `plugins` folder of the repository. This is only recommended if working with a forked copy of the repo. It is not recommended if TiddlyWiki has been installed with npm because npm is liable to overwrite the installation when performing an update
|

|
Note that including a plugin as an ordinary tiddler (e.g. by dragging and dropping a plugin into the browser) will result in the plugin only being active in the browser, and not available under Node.js.
