Installing a plugin

Learn how to install or uninstall a plugin in SonarQube Server.

You need to manually install plugins when using SonarQube Server (you cannot use the SonarQube Marketplace).

To see what plugins are available and which version is appropriate for your SonarQube Server, use the Plugin version matrix, which is kept up to date with current plugin availability and compatibility.

Plugins are not provided by Sonar; therefore, you install them at your own risk. A SonarQube Server administrator needs to acknowledge this risk in the Marketplace before installing plugins or when prompted in SonarQube Server after installing a plugin manually.

Installing a plugin

ZIP INSTALLATION

• Download the plugin you want to install. The version needs to be compatible with your SonarQube version.

• Put the downloaded jar in <sonarqubeHome>/extensions/plugins, and remove any previous versions of the same plugins.

• Restart your SonarQube.

In case of a Data Center edition:

• Plugins are not shared, meaning if you install/uninstall/upgrade a given plugin on one application node, you need to perform the same actions on the other application nodes.

• All application nodes must be stopped when installing, uninstalling, or upgrading a plugin.

DOCKER INSTALLATION

KUBERNETES INSTALLATION

To verify the plugin installation, go to Administration > Marketplace.

Uninstalling a plugin

To uninstall a plugin:

1. Delete the plugin from the <sonarqubeHome>/extensions/plugins folder.

2. Restart your SonarQube Server.
