Hello everyone,
I am just starting to develop a plugin for Kanboard.
I have not yet found information about how to install a plugin during development on a local Kanboard installation.
How would I do this?
What are the files that I would need to edit or would I need to add some information to any of the tables in the db.sqlite file?
Thanks a lot in advance!

should get you started.
and then read the basic plugin dev docs
[https://docs.kanboard.org/v1/plugins/](https://docs.kanboard.org/v1/plugins/)
and from there study other plugins.
as for your first question, you would install a plugin for dev, the same way as any other plugin, you just need all the proper naming conventions.
