Sorry for bad english.

I want install https://github.com/discourse/discourse-adplugin to my google clould Bitnami Discourse.
I follow this page https://docs.bitnami.com/google/apps/discourse/ "How To Install A Plugin On Discourse?"
But it show the messages below

"You are running an old version of bundler, please upgrade bundler ASAP, if you are using Discourse docker, rebuild your container.
fatal: could not create work tree dir '/opt/bitnami/apps/discourse/htdocs/plugins/discourse-adplugin': Permission denied
Unable to clone plugin
yami0523503@discourse-1-vm:/opt/bitnami/apps/discourse/htdocs$ RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile"

Any guys could be help me?

Must be a permission issue. I was able to get this to work by using sudo. Then it wrok now.

Like
"sudo RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake plugin:install repo=https://github.com/discourse/discourse-adplugin.git
sudo RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile"

Hi!

We have noticed that our documentation is missing a step for users using the Google Cloud ssh console (as it seems to be your case). As you well say, because the google console starts with a user different than bitnami, it generates a permissions error. The correct steps are:

$ cd /opt/bitnami/apps/discourse/htdocs
$ sudo su bitnami
$ RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake plugin:install repo=PLUGIN_REPO_URL
$ RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

Your solution should work without any problem. We will fix our documentation soon.

Best regards,
Carlos R. Hernández

Hello @adam80,

Could you please include a reference to the guide suggested by Jsalmeron?
Right now any user that comes to this post won't know how to follow.

Regards,
Tomas

Any updates on the revised documentation for installing plug-ins through Google cloud SSH shell?

Hi @kevin7,

The documentation is updated with the steps that @crhernandez mentioned above.

https://docs.bitnami.com/google/apps/discourse/configuration/install-plugins/

Did you get any error when following it?
