[Qgis-user] Install Quick Map Services Plugin in Ubuntu 18.04

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi Jimi,

You need to install the plugin from within QGIS. No need to directly 
download it from anywhere yourself.

See 
https://docs.qgis.org/3.4/en/docs/training_manual/qgis_plugins/fetching_plugins.html

Does that help?

Cheers

Matthias
