Installation Instructions
If you cannot use the Plugin Portlet (because your Liferay installation is behind a firewall or has no access to the Internet), you can install a plugin manually by copying it to your hot deploy directory.
By default, this directory is located in your user directory, which is different for each operating system
- Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>
- Windows Vista: C:\Users\<user name>
- Linux: /home/<user name>
- Mac OS X: /Users/<user name>
After you have started Liferay, you should find the hot deploy directory in <user directory>/liferay/deploy.
Copy the plugin there, and watch the Liferay console.
When you see the message "registered successfully," the plugin has been deployed.
