If you want to follow the steps //side by side// you can <<open-external-window "https://tiddlywiki.com/plugins/tiddlywiki/katex">>.
# Create a backup of your current TiddlyWiki HTML file ([[just in case|The First Rule of Using TiddlyWiki]])
# Open your TiddlyWiki in a browser
# 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
# Drag the link similar to `$:/plugins/tiddlywiki/example` to the browser window containing your TiddlyWiki
# Import the new plugin shown in the $:/Import tiddler
# Save your TiddlyWiki (<<.icon $:/core/images/save-button-dynamic>>)
# 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 PluginMechanism for more details
# The plugin should now be available for use
