How to enable an Intellij plugin copied to the plugins directory

I have unzipped the ScalaToKotlin plugin to the intellij plugins directory:

$pwd
/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app/Contents/plugins


09:32:26/plugins $find  IntellijScalaToKotlin/
IntellijScalaToKotlin/
IntellijScalaToKotlin/lib
IntellijScalaToKotlin/lib/intellijScalaToKotlin-0.1.1.jar

How do I enable this in the IDE?

Following on to the accepted answer from The Source ( @CrazyCoder is the head of QA @JetBrains) the following info is provided when using the recommended approach of Install Plugin from Disk

enter image description here

So it is helpful to get this clear indication of the plugin being obsolete / no longer supported.

It's not the correct directory, please use idea.plugins.path instead, see the documentation for the location of this directory on your system.

The better way would be to use the Install Plugin from Disk...:

Install Plugin from Disk...

Then point to the .zip file.

Make sure the plug-in you are installing is compatible with your IntelliJ IDEA build.
