Using the Node.js client-server configuration plugins are activated in the following order:
# Plugins found using the OS environment variables
#* See: [[PluginFolders]]
#* and: [[Environment Variables on Node.js]]
# Plugins stored in the wiki `/plugins` path
#* See: [[PluginFolders]]
# Plugins specified in the command line
#* See: [[Using TiddlyWiki on Node.js]] ... the notes about <<.from-version "5.1.20">>
# Plugins imported by drag and drop as wiki content
#* See: [[Installing a plugin from the plugin library]] or [[Manually installing a plugin]]
''Important:''
* ''Elements lower in the list take precedence''
*Including a plugin as an ordinary tiddler by drag and drop into the browser, will result in the plugin only being active in the browser
** It will not be available under Node.js
Option 1:
* Using a Node.js configuration option 1 is the most common one
* It lowers maintenence, because all plugins can be updated in one go
Option 2:
* Option 2 is preferred if you want to work with a fixed configuration
* Plugin updates only effect the corresponding wiki
Option 3:
* This option allows to ''add and start'' an edition without the need to overwrite an existing `tiddlywiki.info` file
* It allows you to start any edition as a client-server edition, even if the tiddlywiki.info file didn't specify it.
Option 4:
* Is the exact same mechanism used for a single-file wiki
* This mechanism should only be used in a Node.js configuration for ''testing and debugging'' purposes, since the plugins are stored in the `tiddlers/` directory
