<p>Hi Jimi,</p>
<p>You need to install the plugin from within QGIS. No need to
directly download it from anywhere yourself.</p>
<p>See
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.qgis.org/3.4/en/docs/training_manual/qgis_plugins/fetching_plugins.html">https://docs.qgis.org/3.4/en/docs/training_manual/qgis_plugins/fetching_plugins.html</a></p>
<p>Does that help?</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi there,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was following a tutorial on QGIS.org (<a
href="https://docs.qgis.org/3.4/en/docs/training_manual/qgis_plugins/plugin_examples.html"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://docs.qgis.org/3.4/en/docs/training_manual/qgis_plugins/plugin_examples.html</a>)</div>
<div>and I can't get past step 2. I followed the link and
downloaded QMS, but I can't for the life of me get it to
install. I moved it from Downloads into usr/bin and then
extracted it to create a folder. The 'readme' files might as
well be written in Mandarin (of which I'm not a speaker..).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Could anyone please help me with how to install the plugin?</div>
