Can't load plugin

I can tell already that this will be dumb question :slight_smile:

I am trying to install the paperclip plugin. I don't know why, but it doesn't seem to install like other rails plugins using the script/plugin install. So instead I downloaded it into the vendor/gems folder (which I created before) and tried to load the plugin with the following line in the environment.rb file:

config.load_paths << "#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/gems/paperclip"

After restarting the server I get an error that seems to imply that the plugin was not loaded, as it says that the one of the methods supplied by the paperclip plugin does not exist.

Am I loading the plugin correctly?

Probably not. It's going to want it's init.rb file loaded. It looks
like you just be able to svn export it into vendor/plugins though.
