2. On the Plugins page, click and select Manage Plugin Repositories.
3. In the Custom Plugin Repositories dialog, click and specify the URL https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugins/eap/18756.
4. Click OK in the Custom Plugin Repositories dialog to save the list of plugin repositories.

6. Click OK in the Settings/Preferences dialog to apply the changes.

This alternative allows you to choose the version to install, also it avoids the Jetbrains moderation, so the last releases are available few days before than in the Marketplace.

2. Press Ctrl+Alt+S for Linux and Windows or ⌘, for Mac to open the IDE settings and select Plugins.
3. On the Plugins page, click The Settings button and then click Install Plugin from Disk.

Contribute with Pull Requests

If you want to contribute with code, you're welcome! Please follow the next guidelines:

• Create an Issue, if it doesn't already exist, and express your desire of contributing in the development, that way we can organize ourselves and avoid to work in the same feature or bug.
• Use Conventional Commit Messages. This is used for the changelog and version generation.
• For the moment the project doesn't have any test, so please be sure of test that the plugin is still working before push.
• To test the plugin behavior the gradle task runIde can be used, this task regenerates the parser files, build the plugin and run the plugin in the IDE. (see the JetBrains Documentation for more details)
• If want to test the plugin in a specific IDE or version you can change in the Intellij block of the build gradle file. See the Gradle Intellij Plugin documentation for more details.
