\rules except wikilink
If you want to follow the steps //side by side// you can <<open-tiddler-in-window>>.
Follow these instructions when using TiddlyWiki as a standalone, single file wiki.
# Open your TiddlyWiki in a browser
# Create a backup of your current wiki file ([[just in case|The First Rule of Using TiddlyWiki]])
# Open the <<controlPanel-plugin-link>>
#* Click on the ''Plugins'' tab and then the
#*<<.icon $:/core/images/download-button>> ''Get more plugins'' button
# Click <<.icon $:/core/images/chevron-right>> ''open plugin library'' to open the official plugin library
# When the library listing is loaded:
## Use the tab to select between ''plugins'', ''themes'' and ''languages''
## Use the ''search'' box to search the plugin details
# Click the ''install'' button to install a plugin
# Save your TiddlyWiki <<.icon $:/core/images/save-button>>
# If a yellow warning bar appears at the top of the window, refresh the window so that TiddlyWiki completes installation of the plugin <<.icon $:/core/images/refresh-button>>
#* <<.from-version "5.1.22">> It is no longer necessary to refresh TiddlyWiki when deleting plugins that support dynamic loading. See the [[PluginMechanism]] for more details
# The plugin should now be available for use
