This topic describes how to work with the Plugin Manager that was replaced with the Integrations tab. If you use ReadyAPI 2.5 or later, see About Integrations.
The Plugin Manager is available from the toolbar. By using the manager, you can work with installed plugins and quickly install new ones.
To open the manager, click Plugins on the toolbar.
Click the image to enlarge it.
You can use the plugin manager to install, remove, and manage your extension plugins.
The plugin manager has two tabs. You can find all plugins that you can install automatically on the Available tab and all installed plugins on the Installed tab.
| Note: | You can still install plugins manually. You can find plugins in the .soapui\plugins directory inside your user directory. For example, in Windows, the path should be C:\Users\<user>\.soapui\plugins). To allow multiple users to use the same plugin, install separate copies for each of them. |
