Have a look at https://volumio.github.io/docs/Plugin_System/Plugin_System_Overview.html 
the instructions are exactly what I’m doing
here is error I’m getting when following these instructions:
Compressing the plugin
Plugin successfully compressed
/bin/mv/: cannot stat *.zip: No such file or directory
any idea what can cause the issue?
Have you changed the default password in volumio?
Are you sure to type exactly the command as described in the help doc?
Have you tried with an other plugin?

No

Yes
Have you tried with an other plugin?
Yes, I cannot install any plugins
What is the output of ls right before you perform the volumio plugin install step?
My 2 cents: manual plugin install should be discouraged as much as possible for non developer users.
We want plugins to be submitted to the plugins repo, to make life easier to everyone.
If manual plugin install do not work, then (IMHO) people should figure out themselves as it will take ages to know what’s wrong without knowing which plugin it is…
I’m within unpacked plugin folder.
volumio@volumio:/data/INTERNAL/plugins/volumio-minidlna-plugin-master$:ls
install.sh, [and other unpacked plugin files]
Please post the complete output of
ls -al
for the folder containing the files extracted from the zip file you have downloaded.
Meanwhile a shot in the dark: Check if there is a zip file in the folder into which the downloaded zip file has been extracted. It should not be there and I guess it would let fail “volumio plugin install”.
Another shot in the dark: According to this https://github.com/Saiyato/volumio-snapcast-plugin/issues/49 running
npm i
in the plugin directory before installing the plugin might help.

@gvolt - Not really a shot in the dark - your plugin is missing the npm packages - you will need the run
npm install
in your install.sh or pre package them into the zip file for install via the command line tool. Also -
volumio plugin package
does this for you already.
Thanks for the hint! 
On my GitHub repo I had removed the zip file some time ago as I had the impression (actually I think I read it somewhere here on the forum, but can’t remember reliably…) that we were discouraged to publish pre packaged zip files - maybe I misunderstood or had a memory failure on my side
I have already created a pull request for the plugin (https://github.com/volumio/volumio-plugins/pull/188) a long time ago, but approval is still pending…
Hi balbuze
I’m new to volumio and pi, but have just set up a pi with digione and volumio to send to my rega dac-r. I’d like to add the volparametriceq you created, but really don’t understand how to do it. Do I unzip the zip file and add the contents to the sd card? Is there then an option to select volumio plugin install in the volumio app, or am I needing to run that somewhere else?
Thanks
Instructions are here…
Thanks for that Lalashok. I have enabled ssh and tried to obtain the zip to install the plugin with the details, but an error comes up when trying to connect to github:

Had to delete the / and . off the github address as i’m a new user and only allowed 2 links, but left the full address on the first bit to show what i had entered
copy past instruction from the repo. With no typo it should be better 
Hi balbueze
I typed the following as per the instruction that gave me that error in connecting to github.
Im assuming the above is correct with no typo and it won’t let me copy and paste onto the putty command page. Am I missing something here 
Thanks
Your url is wrong - try copy pasting it directly into a browser - you get a 404 error. (as you see in your last attempt)
The correct url is balbuze not balbueze
sorry for unintentionally renaming you balbuze 
Thanks for your help guys. Got there in the end lol
For future reference, in most terminals (Putty included) - you can hit right-click on your mouse to paste stuff in. If you are on Win10, you don’t need Putty any longer, and it (finally!) includes a native ssh client. Try searching for it
That’s great! Thanks for the advice
