Install plugins

Last modified: 19 December 2024

Plugins extend the core functionality of JetBrains Rider. For example, install plugins to get the following features:

  • Integration with version control systems, issue trackers, build management servers, and other tools.

  • Coding assistance support for various languages and frameworks.

  • Shortcut hints, live previews, File Watchers, and so on.

  • Coding exercises that can help you to learn a new programming language.

If a plugin depends on some other plugin, you can find a list of the dependencies in the Additional Info tab. If your solution depends on certain plugins, add them to the list of required plugins.

If existing plugins do not provide some functionality that you need, you can create your own plugin for JetBrains Rider. For more information, refer to Develop your own plugins.

By default, JetBrains Rider includes several bundled plugins. You can disable bundled plugins, but they cannot be removed. Also, you can install additional plugins from the plugin repository or from a local archive file (ZIP or JAR) .
