Whenever I try to install a plugin using the commands script/plugin instal ... I only get an empty folder under the vendor/plugins dir. This happened for a couple of plugins I tried to install (attachmnet\_fu, paperclip). Sometimes I get the error plugin not found if I try to install from svn instead of git. Any help how can I fix this problem. Thanks in advance! ---

Hi! Have you tried using the gem version of paperclip? This way is preferred anyway. Regards, Nicolai ---

Do you have git installed ? Fred
