    3030If the automatic way does not work you can install plugins manually by putting the .jar files in the plugins directory under the Josm directory.

    32 Under WINDOWS, this is in C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\JOSM\plugins. Now restart Josm and the plugins should show up here: Edit-preferences-Plugins. Activate the Plugin and re-start JOSM once more.
    33 
    34 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:
    35 
    36 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)
    37 
    38 2. open a "Terminal" (put "terminal" into spotlight and start it) - it will automatically open in your user directory
    39 
    40 3. now move the plugin file to the plugin folder with this command: "mv [plugin].jar .josm/plugins/"
     32 * Under '''Windows''', this is in {{{C:\Documents and Settings\}}}''username''{{{\Application Data\JOSM\plugins}}}.
     33 * On a '''Mac''' you will find the JOSM directory in the user directory {{{/Users/}}}''username''{{{/.josm/plugins}}}. The point "." in front of ".josm" indicates that this folder is invisible. To show the contents of this hidden folder, use the Finders Go to folder menu command (cmd-shift-G), and enter "~/.josm" in the dialog that pops up. Drag any plugins you'd like to install into the {{{plugins}}} folder. (You can also copy the plugin files using the command line.)
