Installing pre-release builds
This plugin also has an alpha channel besides the default stable channel. The alpha channel contains the latest build with the latest features available, and is updated much more frequently than the stable channel.
It is used for testing features before they are released in the stable channel, so alpha versions of the plugin may be more unstable. There are multiple ways by which you can acquire an alpha build.
Download it directly
You have multiple options for acquiring a zip file with the plugin.
Go to https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9473-texify-idea/versions and click on Alpha, then to the right you have a download button for each alpha version.
You could also download a stable release from there or from the releases page (on which they appear just a bit earlier) at https://github.com/Ruben-Sten/TeXiFy-IDEA/releases
You could also build from source, see https://github.com/Ruben-Sten/TeXiFy-IDEA#building-from-source-using-intellij
Possibly someone else gave you a zip file.
Installing the plugin from a zip file
Go to and click the gear icon, click Install Plugin from Disk, select the zip file and install.
