| 42 | | You can install plugins manually by putting the .jar files in a plugins directory under the Josm directory. Under windows, this is in C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\JOSM\plugins. Then restart Josm and the plugins should show up. |
| | 42 | == Manual Installation == |
| | 43 | If the automatic way does not work you can install plugins manually by putting the .jar files in the plugins directory under the Josm directory. |
| | 44 | |
| | 45 | Under WINDOWS, this is in C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\JOSM\plugins. Now restart Josm and the plugins should show up. Activate the Plugin and re-start JOSM once more. |

| | 47 | On a MAC you will find the JOSM directory in the user directory "[username]/.josm/plugins" The point "." in front of "josm" indicates that this folder is invisible. So you will need to use a "Terminal" to move the plugin file(s) to it. (As MAC OS does not show hidden folders in the "Finder".) Here you go: |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | 1. download the [plugin].jar file to the user directory: [username] (or copy it there with the "Finder" if you have already downloaded it elswhere) |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | 2. open a "Terminal" (put "terminal" into spotlight and start it) - it will automatically open in your user directory |
| | 52 | |
| | 53 | 3. now move the plugin file to the plugin folder with this command: "mv [plugin].jar .josm/plugins/" |
| | 54 | |
| | 55 | Now restart Josm and the plugins should show up. Activate the Plugin and re-start JOSM once more. |
