  Hi there,

  It’s not possible to install plugins on sites hosted here at WordPress.com.

  Plugins can only be installed on the self-hosted version of WordPress (WordPress.org).

  To learn more about the differences between the two different versions of WordPress, please see this guide.

  You’d need a hosting account and an installation of the self-hosted version of WordPress first.

  Once you have that, then you can follow this guide to install plugins on your new site.

  If you want to transfer a WordPress.com site over to a self-hosted version, please see this guide.
