The recommended way to install plugins is via risset

can be installed via pip install risset.
Then, to install any plugin:
risset update
risset install <pluginname>For example, to install klib and poly:
risset install klib polyUsing risset to install plugins also ensures integration
with other tools like CsoundQt. Risset also can be used
to show manual pages, list opcodes, etc.
Plugins can be manually downloaded from the releases page:
