"blawlor: if the instructions don..." <- These instructions do work, but #4 seems to be that you add the full path of each individual plugin in koha-conf, which is slightly different than what Paul suggests that you can have just one folder there with multiple repos in it Add plugin path to koha config /kohadevbox/koha_plugin/your_shiny_plugin The only other thing that the instructions could be updated to help beginners like me is to make where to edit the koha-conf.xml file. It's probably obvious to some but it took me a little while to figure out it's not the file in the Koha code repo koha/etc/koha-conf.xml it's in the container system file /etc/koha/sites/kohadev/koha-conf.xml
