To clarify, the recommendation to install plugins via tiddlywiki.info rather than by dragging and dropping only applies to plugins from the official plugin library.
Installing plugins in this way allows them to be automatically upgraded when the core is upgraded > What does the bold part mean? Specifically the "not available under node"?

The two instances talk to each other to synchronise changes. Plugins installed by drag and drop will only be treated as plugins by the instance of TiddlyWiki running in the browser. To the Node.js instance, they’re just tiddlers with no special behaviour.
