Plugins extend the core functionality of IntelliJ IDEA. For example, install plugins to get the following features: Integration with version control systems, issue trackers, build management servers, and other tools. Coding assistance support for various languages and frameworks. Shortcut hints, live previews, File
Watchers, and so on. Coding exercises that can help you to learn a new programming language. Press
Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select . Use the Marketplace tab to browse and install plugins from the JetBrains Plugin Repository or from a
custom plugin repository. Use the Installed tab to browse bundled and installed plugins, enable, disable, update, or remove them. Disabling unnecessary plugins can increase performance. Most plugins can be used with any JetBrains product. Some are limited only to commercial products, others require a separate
license. If a plugin depends on some other plugin, IntelliJ IDEA will notify you about the dependencies. If your project depends on certain plugins, add them to the list of required plugins. If existing plugins do not provide some functionality that you need, you can create your own plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. For more information,
see Develop your own plugins. By default, IntelliJ IDEA includes several bundled plugins. You can disable bundled plugins, but they cannot be removed. You can install additional plugins from the plugin repository or from a local archive file [ZIP or JAR].Open plugin settings
Install plugin from Marketplace
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select .
Find the plugin in the Marketplace and click Install.
To install a specific version, go to the plugin page in the JetBrains Plugin Repository, download and install it as described in Install plugin from disk. For example, you can do it if the most recent version of the plugin is broken.
Install plugin from disk
Download the plugin archive [ZIP or JAR].
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select .
On the Plugins page, click

Install plugin through command line
From the JetBrains Marketplace page, find a page of the required plugin, select the Versions tab, and click any version to copy
pluginId.pluginIdis a short name of the plugin you want to install.For example,
org.rust.lang.Open the terminal, go to the IntelliJ IDEA instance where your project resides, and for which you want to download and install a third-party plugin.
The downloaded IntelliJ IDEA instances are located in of the following directories depending on your OS.
Use the
installPlugins PROJECT_PATH pluginIdto install your plugin.
Remove plugin
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select .
Open the Installed tab and find the plugin that you want to remove.
Click on the plugin's description pane and select Uninstall.
Disable plugin
You can disable a plugin without removing it if you do not need the corresponding functionality.
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select .
Open the Installed tab, find and select the plugin that you want to disable.
Click on the plugin's description pane and select Disable.
Alternatively, you can use the checkboxes in the list of plugins or the Disable all buttons for plugin categories.
You can disable or enable all manually installed plugins at once [non-bundled] in the menu under .
Required plugins
A project may require plugins that provide support for certain technologies or frameworks. You can add such plugins to the list of required plugins for the current project, so that IntelliJ IDEA will verify that the plugins are installed and enabled. It will notify you if you forget about some plugin, or someone on your team is not aware about the dependency as they work on the project.
Add a required plugin for your current project
Make sure the required plugin is installed.
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select .
On the Required Plugins page, click and select the plugin. Optionally, specify the minimum and maximum version of the plugin.
When you open the project in IntelliJ IDEA, it will notify you if the plugin is disabled, not installed, or requires an update.
Click the link in the notification message to quickly enable, install, or update the required plugin.
Suggested plugins
When you open a project, IntelliJ IDEA can suggest installing and enabling plugins based on libraries and facets used in your project. Do not confuse suggested plugins with required plugins that you can manually add to a project so that your teammates also use it.
If you don't need a particular plugin, you can prevent IntelliJ IDEA from suggesting it. You can also use your notification settings to disable or enable notifications of all plugin suggestions and the way they are displayed.
Disable suggestions of a plugin
When a notification of a suggested plugin appears, click Don't suggest this plugin.
Next time when you open a project, IntelliJ IDEA will not suggest this plugin. You can still check your project for suggested plugins.
Check a project for suggested plugins
Press Ctrl+Shift+A and start typing Check Suggested Plugins.
Select the Check Suggested Plugins action.
If IntelliJ IDEA has a plugin applicable to your project, you'll see the notification message. Click the link in the notification message to install or enable the suggested plugin.
Develop your own plugins
You can use any edition of IntelliJ IDEA to develop plugins. It provides an open API, a dedicated SDK, module, and run/debug configurations to help you.
The recommended workflow is to use Gradle. The old workflow using the internal IntelliJ IDEA build system is also supported. For more information, see the IntelliJ Platform SDK Developer Guide.
Custom plugin repositories
By default, IntelliJ IDEA is configured to use plugins from the JetBrains Plugin Repository. This is a public repository where everyone can host their plugins. However, if you develop plugins for internal use only, you can set up a custom plugin repository for them.
For information about setting up a custom plugin repository, see the IntelliJ Platform SDK documentation.
Once you set up your plugin repository, add it to IntelliJ IDEA:
Add custom repositories
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select .
On the Plugins page, click and select Manage Plugin Repositories….
In the Custom Plugin Repositories dialog, click and specify your repository URL. It must point to the location of the XML file that describes your plugin, for example, updatePlugins.xml. The file can be on the same server as your custom plugins, or on a dedicated one.
Click OK in the Custom Plugin Repositories dialog to save the list of plugin repositories.
Click OK in the Settings/Preferences dialog to apply the changes.
When you search for plugins, IntelliJ IDEA will show you results both from the default JetBrains Plugin Repository and any custom repositories that you specify. To browse only a certain custom plugin repository, type repository: followed by the URL of the
repository in the search field on the Marketplace tab of the Plugins page. For example:
repository://plugins.example.com:8080/updatePlugins.xml myPlugin
Alternatively, you can add your custom plugin repositories using the idea.plugin.hosts property:
From the main menu, select .
Add the
idea.plugin.hostsproperty to the platform properties file and specify the URL of the XML file that describes your plugin. For example:idea.plugin.hosts="//plugins.example.com:8080/updatePlugins.xml"
Restart IntelliJ IDEA.
You may want to replace the default JetBrains Plugin Repository with your custom plugin repository. This can be helpful if you want only your custom repository plugins to be available from IntelliJ IDEA.
Replace the default plugin repository
From the main menu, select .
Add the
idea.plugins.hostproperty to the platform properties file and specify the URL of the application that can properly handle requests from IntelliJ IDEA, that is, act as the default plugin repository application instead of JetBrains Plugin Repository.In particular, it should handle the following requests:
Get the list of plugins
Download the latest plugin update
Restart IntelliJ IDEA.
If you replace the default plugin repository, the search field on the Marketplace tab of the Plugins dialog will browse only the plugins in the new default repository and any custom repositories that you add.
Productivity tips
Filter and sort search results
Type a forward slash
/in the search string to see options for filtering and sorting search results. For example, you can add the following options to your search string to list only language-related plugins and sort them by the number of downloads:/tag:Languages /sortBy:downloads
