If you choose the more cumbersome way, as recommended for Node.JS, the plugin will be available on every wiki that is served from this Node.JS TW server. So, while the D&D installation will be fully sufficient, if the wiki concerned is the only one you intend to run, the Node.JS installation looks like the more sustainable method.

On a side note: it is possible to manually convert a plugin that is only available for D&D to a server-suitable version. At least, if it's a wikitext-only plugin. I have successfully done this for A. Aldrich's Tables plugin.

Best, Werner

    So I have my nodejs server up and running, but I did not want to
    start an entirely new wiki, instead I wanted to import my old wiki
    and continue using that. I imported it via just drag and dropping
    my .html file onto the newly made empty wiki. It imported
    everything just fine and everything seems to work ok.

    However, I noticed that installing plugins in nodejs
    
<https://tiddlywiki.com/static/Installing%2520custom%2520plugins%2520on%2520Node.js.html>server
    should /not /be done by drag and dropping them as individual
    tiddlers but instead you should make plugins folder in the server
    and put them there and tell in the tiddlywiki.info
    <http://tiddlywiki.info> file what plugins to load. It is said that:

    > Note that including a plugin as an ordinary tiddler (e.g. by dragging and
    dropping a plugin into the browser) will result in the plugin only
    being active in the browser, and not available under Node.js.

    So what does this /actually /mean? All my old plugins were
    installed this way when I was not using nodejs. They still seem to
    work fine. Should I remove all my plugins installed with drag and
    drop and install them manually as per the link?
