+-To install a plugin, select it from the list and click the \button{Install plugin} button. The plugin is installed in its own directory, e.g. for \nix under \filename{\$HOME/.qgis/python/plugins} and is only visible for the user who has installed it. See a list of other OS specific subdirectory used for plugins in Section~\ref{subsec:pyfoursteps}. If the installation is successful, a confirmation message will appear. Then you need go to the \mainmenuopt{Plugins} > \dropmenuopttwo{mActionShowPluginManager}{Manage Plugins...} and load the installed plugin.
++To install a plugin, select it from the list and click the \button{Install plugin} button. The plugin is installed in its own directory.
+
+-If the installation fails, the reason is displayed. The most often troubles are related to connection errors and missing Python modules. In the former case you'll probably need to wait some minutes or hours, in the latter one you need to install the missing modules in your operating system prior to using the plugin. \nix{For Linux, most required modules should be available in a package manager}. \win{For install instructions in Windows visit the module home page}. If you use a proxy, you may need to configure it under the menu \mainmenuopt{Settings} > \dropmenuopttwo{mActionOptions}{Options} on the \tab{Proxy} tab.

+-The \button{Uninstall plugin} button is enabled only if the selected plugin is installed and it's not a core plugin. Note that if you have installed an update of a core plugin, you can still uninstall this update with the \button{Uninstall plugin} and revert to the version shipped within Quantum GIS install package. This one cannot be uninstalled.
++If the installation is successful, a confirmation message will appear telling you to go to \mainmenuopt{Plugins} > \dropmenuopttwo{mActionShowPluginManager}{Manage Plugins...} to load the newly installed plugin.
++
++If the installation fails, the reason for the failure will be displayed in a warning dialog. Most often, errors are the result of
++connection problems and/or missing Python modules. In the former case you will likely need to wait before trying the install again, in the latter case, you should install the missing modules relevant to your operating system prior to using the plugin. \nix{For Linux, most required modules should be available via a package manager}. \win{For install instructions in Windows visit the module home page}.

++
++The \button{Uninstall plugin} button is enabled only if the selected plugin is installed and is not a core plugin. Note that if you have installed an update to a core plugin, you can uninstall this update with the \button{Uninstall plugin} and revert to the version shipped with Quantum GIS. This default version however, cannot be uninstalled.

+-The second tab \tab{Repositories} contains a list of plugin repositories available for the Plugin Installer. By default, only the QGIS Official Repository is used. You can add some user-contributed repositories, including the central QGIS Contributed Repository and a few author repositories by clicking the \button{Add 3rd party repositories} button. Those repositories contain a huge number of more or less useful plugins but please note that they aren't maintained by the QGIS Development Team and we can't take any responsibility for them. You can also manage the repository list manually, that is add, remove and edit the entries. Temporary disabling a particular repository is possible clicking the \button{Edit...} button.

+-The \checkbox{Check for updates on startup} checkbox makes QGIS looking for plugin updates and news. If it's enabled, all repositories listed and enabled on the \tab{Repositories} tab are checked whenever the program is starting. If a new plugin or an update for one of installed plugins is available, a clickable notification appears in the Status Bar. If the checkbox is disabled, looking for updates and news is performed only when Plugin Installer is being launched from the menu.
++\minisec{Options tab}
++
++The \tab{Options} tab is where you can configure the settings of the \filename{Plugin Installer}. The \checkbox{Check for updates on startup} checkbox tells QGIS to automatically look for plugin updates and news. By default, if this feature is enabled all repositories listed and enabled in the \tab{Repositories} tab are checked for updates each time the program is started. The frequency of update checking can be adjusted using the dropdown menu, and may be adjusted from once a day right up to once a month. If a new plugin or update is available for one of the installed plugins, a notification will appear in the Status Bar. If the checkbox is disabled, looking for updates and news is performed only when the \filename{Plugin Installer} is manually launched from the menu.
++
++Some internet connections will cause problems when attempting to automatically check for updates. In these cases, a \textit{Looking for new plugins...} indicator will remain visible in the Status Bar during your entire QGIS session, and may cause a program crash when exiting. In this case please disable the checkbox.
++
++In addition, you may specify the type of plugins that are displayed by the \filename{Plugin Installer}. Under \textit{Allowed plugins}, you can specify whether you would like to:
++
++\begin{itemize}
++\item Only show plugins from the official repository
++\item Show all plugins except those marked as experimental,
++\item or Show all plugins, even those marked as experimental.
++\end{itemize}
++
++\begin{Tip}
++ \caption{\textsc{Using experimental plugins}}
++\qgistip{
++Experimental plugins are generally unsuitable for production use. These plugins are in the early stages of development, and should be considered 'incomplete' or 'proof of concept' tools. The QGIS development team does not recommend installing these plugins unless you intend to use them for testing purposes.
++}
++\end{Tip}
+
+-In case of some internet connection problems a \textit{Looking for new plugins...} indicator in the Status Bar may stay visible during whole QGIS session and cause a program crash when exiting. In this case please disable the checkbox.
