  It is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress.org blogs. The difference is broken down here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Can you let me know what functionality you were looking for in the plugin? I’m happy to provide an alternative method for achieving the function at WordPress.com!
