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
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)
