Install plugins

You might want to extend the functionality of Discourse by installing a plugin. If you want to do this, you must get the repository URL for the plugin (where PLUGIN_REPO_URL is the URL to the repository of the plugin you want to install, like: https://github.com/discourse/discourse-akismet):

NOTE: If you connected to the instance via the Google Cloud Console, you will need to change your user to the bitnami user. Insert the following command before executing the steps below: sudo su bitnami

You will have to execute the following commands:

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