## Using the Plugin Admin

*(to be done)*

## Manual installation

1. Check if you've got a 64-bits version of Notepad++, or a 32-bits version.
2. Download the relevant latest version of the plugin:
  * [64-bits]()
  * [32-bits](zip/npp_preview.zip?uuid=publish)
3. Extract the zip file to the plugins directory:
  * For Notepad++ versions 7.?.? and up, the DLL should end up in `$(PLUGINSDIR)\npp_preview`
  * For Notepad++ version before 7.?.?, the DLL should end up directly in `$(PLUGINSDIR)`

### Note about `$(PLUGINSDIR)`

The plugins directory can be located at `%AppData%\Notepad++\plugins`, or just below the directory containing `notepad++.exe`, e.g. `C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins`.

To find out where your `%AppData%` is located, just paste it into the address bar of Windows’ File Explorer:

![%AppData%](https://fossil.2of4.net/npp_preview/raw/594f049e22c5c8cf3bf69b5214447b4c6d91a319?m=image/png)
