I know this will be likely marked as a duplicate. But none of the answers in Finding the gedit plugin folder can solve my problem. It seems that I don't have a gedit plugins folder. Is there any easy way to find it? I tried up with all possible paths but it seems that there is no such a folder.

What is also strange is that I don't have a local folder. Does the local folder have another name in Ubuntu 14.04?

    The local folder is still ~/.local in Ubuntu 14.04. And if ~/.local/share/gedit/plugins does not exist, you can/should create it. (~/.local/share should exist already, though.) – muru Oct 17 '14 at 08:16

Gedit plugins that are installed by your package manager will go in:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gedit/plugins/

or

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gedit/plugins/

or

/usr/lib/gedit/plugins/

Your "local" plugins, those that you installed from source are usually found in:

~/.local/share/gedit/plugins/

Adding to @Sylvian answer above,

Gedit 3 plugins that are installed by my package manager were in:

/usr/lib/gedit/plugins/

My "local" plugins, those that you installed from source were found in:

~/.local/share/gedit/plugins/
