Installing Notepad++ 8.6.0 on Mac: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you're looking to upgrade your Notepad++ experience to version 8.6.0, this article will guide you through the installation process for Mac users.

Firstly, we want to express our gratitude to those who have taken the time to provide us with their debug data, dir listings, and screenshots over the past two days. Your patience is much appreciated, and welcome to the club of patient people!

Before proceeding with the installation, please note that any old plugins you may have will need to be moved to a new location, as the plugin subfolder structure has undergone some changes. If you require older plugins that are not available in the 'Plugins Admin' section, we can assist you in manually moving them.

During the installation process, you will be prompted for your administrator credentials. After completing the install, you should have access to the full XML tools menu.

To access this menu, follow these steps:

1. Enter 'xml' in the search field and hit next until you see 'XML Tools' as an option.

2. Select it as shown in the screenshot below.

Important: Do not use the old 'Plugin Manager' as it may not install plugins to the correct locations for newer Notepad++ versions (7.6.0 to 7.6.3).

If you're currently running Notepad++ version 7.5.9, you don't need to uninstall it. Simply run the npp.7.6.3.Installer.exe and install it over your current version.

After installation, start Notepad++.exe and open 'Plugins Admin' as shown in the screenshot below.

You will need to upgrade to version 7.6.3 to access the new 'Plugins Admin' section. The old 'Plugin Manager' seems to produce an error when trying to install XML tools.

To achieve this, please follow these steps:

1. Upgrade your existing Notepad++ to version 7.6.3 using the 32-bit updater/installer available here.

That's it! With these simple steps, you should be able to successfully install Notepad++ 8.6.0 on your Mac and enjoy its enhanced features. Welcome to the Notepad++ community, where we're always happy to help you with any questions or issues you may have.
