You don't mention what OS you are using, but assuming its Linux (since you are cd-ing) did you look in the distros repositories for the plugin? Most distros include Geany, and the plugins collection, and many also disassemble the collection so you can install only one plugin at a time.

Dear list members,
In search for a text editor with marco recording capabilities I came across this website:
https://plugins.geany.org/geanymacro.html. (Hint: just add a link to the place from where I can download the searched-for plugin. That would make life easier).
The descritipon looks like this is exactly what I am looking for. I search for the place from which it can be downloaded, I came across
https://plugins.geany.org/downloads.html

The instructions to install the desired plugin (which are described on the same page) did not enable me to achieve the desired goal.
It should be:
- download the packed archieve in the form you like best.
- click onto the item in the column SIG of the line you have chosen
to download the *.sig file for the downloaded item. 3. cd to your Download directory or the place wher you have put the two downloaded files. 4. import the key of the author via gpg --recv-keys B507ACD04BA283C9 5. *add the necessary steps to make the program from the downloaded sourcecode.*
There is some description, but when I follow it, I don't get through.
In the fourth step I encounter:
$ *gpg --recv-keys B507ACD04BA283C9* gpg: Schlüssel 4BA283C9 von hkp-Server keys.gnupg.net anfordern gpgkeys: key B507ACD04BA283C9 can't be retrieved gpg: Keine gültigen OpenPGP-Daten gefunden. gpg: Anzahl insgesamt bearbeiteter Schlüssel: 0 gpg: Schlüsselserver-Datenübertragunsfehler: keyserver helper general error gpg: Schlüsselserver-Datenübertragunsfehler: Unbekanntes Public-Key-Verfahren gpg: Empfangen vom Schlüsselserver fehlgeschlagen: Unbekanntes Public-Key-Verfahren $
Note: From other trials, gpg --list-keys shows me these keys, apparently I already have the key of the author:
pub 4096R/4BA283C9 2018-04-04 [verfällt: 2020-04-03] uid Frank Lanitz frank@lanitz.info frank@lanitz.info uid Frank Lanitz frlan@fsfe.org frlan@fsfe.org uid Frank Lanitz frank@geany.org frank@geany.org uid Frank Lanitz frank@mxsrv.org frank@mxsrv.org uid Frank Lanitz frank@frank.uvena.de frank@frank.uvena.de uid Frank Lanitz frank.lanitz@seznam.cz frank.lanitz@seznam.cz sub 4096R/0E29452D 2018-04-04 [verfällt: 2020-04-03]
Of course, the other commands to make and possibly install the plkugin should be shown there too or on a linked page (in case they are the same for many plugins which are delivered as source code poackages only.
Kind regards
