How do I fix JMeterPluginsCMD "Missing plugin type specification" error

I'm trying to use the JMeterPluginsCMD on Windows to generate load test result graphs after a JMeter run. I installed the plugin manually because I can't use the JMeter Plugins Manager. (I don't have the network information I need to configure it). When I run a simple command .\JMeterPluginsCMD.bat, I get an error message. What can I do about this error message?

Here's the error message ERROR: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Missing plugin type specification

Here's the full error output:

You are missing plugin-type parameter, example:

JMeterPluginsCMD.bat --generate-png test.png --input-jtl results.jtl --plugin-type ResponseTimesOverTime --width 800 --height 600

Your plugin jar should be available in lib/ext folder

Make note that you need to install corresponding plugins set to have Extras plugins available in CMD.
