i've followed those steps Plugins can also be automatically downloaded and installed from gitub using: user\_name/repo\_name structure, or, for explicit versions, using user\_name/repo\_name/version\_number. and in the git bash showed that it was successfully installed but i can't find it in my project explorer and i don't know where to place the folder of the suggester itself, I thought i'll do it manually as specified in that link as well but i couldn't find the plug ins directory not the plug ins script Thank you.
