Peter,

You can define your own plugins folder and install DGH (or other
plugins) in it with no problem of permissions.

Follow these steps:
1) Create a folder in your disk to install additional LC stuff. For
example a folder "My_LiveCode" located here: home/theslug/My_LiveCode
2) Check your LC preferences. In the "Files & memory" tab, you have
the path for "User extensions". Select the folder you created in step
1). You should obtain something like: home/theslug/My_LiveCode
3) Quit LC
4) In the home/theslug/My_LiveCode folder, create a new folder named:
Plugins (this name is case sensitive, so be sure to have P in
uppercase)
5) Copy DGH in the Plugins folder located here: home/theslug/My_LiveCode/Plugins
6) Launch LC. DGH should ask for an update
7) Confirm the update. All should be working as expected.



Best regards,
