How to install downloaded zip/tar.gz plugin ?

Hello !

Some time ago , I asked how to make pagination(How to make << 123.. >> functionality ? %) - Rails - Ruby-Forum), i have downloaded this plugin, and I do not want to download this plugin every time when I want to create new nooby test project.

My question is just - how to install plugin from tarball ?

99% of the time you just need to untar it into vendor/plugins. Some plugins have an install.rb that you should run. You may be interested in the templates feature in rails 2.3
