Installation
Installing the Plugins
Every plugin installs the same way. The fastest path is the official Obsidian Community Plugin Store — or install manually from a GitHub release if you prefer. Pick one method below.
Obsidian Community Plugin Store
The plugins are published in the official Obsidian Community Plugin Store — Obsidian's built-in marketplace. This is the recommended way to install.
The fastest path: open the plugin's community page and click Add to Obsidian at the top. Obsidian opens to the plugin's listing in the Community Plugins store — then click Install and Enable.
Why install from the store
- One-click install and enable — no folders, no file copying, no manual updates.
- Automatic updates — Obsidian tells you when a new version ships and updates in one click.
- Verified by the Obsidian team — every release is reviewed for compliance and security before it goes live.
- Managed like everything else — All of your plugins sit right alongside each other in the store.
Option A — Add to Obsidian (one click)
Open the plugin's official Community page and click Add to Obsidian. Obsidian jumps straight to the listing — then click Install, then Enable.
Option B — Browse from inside Obsidian
If the button above doesn't work, install from inside Obsidian directly — works on any browser or platform:
- 1 Open Obsidian and go to Settings → Community Plugins.
- 2 If Restricted Mode is on, click Turn on community plugins.
- 3 Click Browse and search for the plugin's name.
- 4 Click Install, then Enable.
That's it — the plugin is now active in your vault.
📥 Alternative — manual install from GitHub
Prefer to install by hand, or running a build that isn't in the store yet? Every release is versioned and tagged on GitHub.
-
1. Download the latest release
Open the plugin's GitHub Releases, grab the newest version, and download these three files:
main.jsmanifest.jsonstyles.css -
2. Create the plugin folder
In your vault, open
{VaultFolder}/.obsidian/plugins/and create a folder named after the plugin's id (from itsmanifest.json), e.g.{VaultFolder}/.obsidian/plugins/prisma-calendar/. -
3. Move the files in
Drop the three downloaded files into that folder.
-
4. Reload Obsidian
Press
Ctrl/Cmd + R, or close and reopen Obsidian. -
5. Enable the plugin
Go to Settings → Community Plugins, find the plugin in the installed list, and toggle it on.
Note on manual updates: you'll need to repeat these steps for every new version. Installing from the Community Store handles updates automatically.
Requirements
- A reasonably recent version of Obsidian. Some plugins need newer builds for features like Bases integration or encrypted secret storage — update Obsidian first if you're on an older version.
- Check each plugin's own docs for its exact minimum version and any required companion plugins it relies on.
