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 not properly tested yet
   • 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)
4. Restart Notepad++. No other setup should be necessary.

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 (or type) it into the address bar of Windows’ File Explorer:
