cannot find InstallPlugins script mentioned in the doc
Answered
Hi, I'm working on a project to automate the setup of my development environment including IDEA I want to install my plugins through this script. When I checked the documentation I found this command
Use the installPlugins PROJECT_PATH pluginId to install your plugin.
but I cannot find installPlugins script anywhere how to run it? also does the PROJECT_PATH refer to the installation path of IDEA, after extracting the tar, or ~/.local/share/JetBrains/... etc.
Thanks in advance.

Here is an example of installing the plugin "Material Theme UI Plugin" from the command line.
1) Make sure you quit the IDE
2) Find that plugin page by searching for its name on plugins.jetbrains.com webpage
3) Scroll down and click "Versions"
4) Click 7.9.0 (or any other version). Plugin info page will open
5) Copy plugin id "com.chrisrm.idea.MaterialThemeUI" from that page
6) Open the OS terminal. Execute cd IDEA_INSTALLATION_FOLDER (e.g., "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 2022.2.1\bin")
7) Execute idea64 installPlugins com.chrisrm.idea.MaterialThemeUI
8) Wait for some time (no status notifications are displayed during the installation)
9) Run the IDE
