[Koha] Can´t install plugins - no upload button

[David Nind]

Hi Alvaro.

There is a setting in your instance's koha-conf.xml where you need to
enable plugins (/etc/koha/sites/<yourinstancename>/koha-conf.xml):

<enable_plugins>1</enable_plugins>

1 = enabled, 0 = not enabled

Any change to this setting requires restarting all the services.

I don't think you should have deleted the tables, so you may need to either
recreate them or redo the setup of the instance. Otherwise, you will have
problems once allowing plugins is enabled (and you have no tables).

Koha is specifically set up this way from a security perspective, as
plugins can come from anywhere and could do damage to your system -
enabling the upload and installing of plugins needs to be specifically
allowed.
