You can't but you see where the executable is located: /some/path/bin/qtcreator, then you have to extract it in /some/path. If you have installed the packages of qt-project.

usr/lib/qt4/plugins

No you haven't. It is the plugin directory of Qt not of Qt Creator. I see I have to write more about the installation on the page....

For now, since it is almost bedtime here, try to locate a file called "Qt4ProjectManager.pluginspec". It should be located in /x/y/z/lib/qtcreator/plugins/QtProject. Then strip lib/qtcreator/plugins/QtProject and you get /x/y/z and that is the place where you should extract the tar.bz2 file.

Hope you will manage to install it. Tomorrow I could help further, till then good luck!

lol glad i could be your test dummy

So i've extracted the file into /usr/bin where "where qtcreator" returned. On the site it says thats all i have to do but im still not seeing it in the editor. I've restarted my machine but its not showing up how do i add plugins in creator?

You are welcome!

Well if your executable is in /usr/bin you don't use the packages of qt-project.org. Then it is the creator bundled with your distribution. I have updated the documentation a little bit. If it is still unclear, please post the results of

locate qtcreator/plugins
locate Welcome.pluginspec
locate QtProject
locate qtcreator.sh

locate qtcreator/plugins
locate Welcome.pluginspec
locate QtProject
locate qtcreator.sh

I'm sorry for taking so long to respond. I took a look at your improved site but im honestly still lost. Where is the file LorenzHaas you reference? To answer your questions above:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtcreator/plugins/Nokia/Welcome.pluginspec

Thats the filepath i come up with when i run those commands.

I've extracted your plugin to:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtcreator/plugins

With no results but that's what i thought the website was trying to tell me to do.

Ok, it you have downloaded ArtisticStylePlugin-1.0.0-linux-x86_64-qt_5.0.1-qtc_2.6.2.tar.bz2 extract it an you will get:
aspqtforum.png
And that is the folder "LorenzHaas" I talk about.

And what me still puzzles is that your executable should be in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtcreator/bin/qtcreator but anyway. Copy "LorenzHaas" to: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qtcreator/plugins. That's how it is done, *hopefully*

Otherwise we should think about a video-live-support...

okay i don't have that file or maybe i'm just slow, but i'm normally very good with computers. this is becoming frustrating...

I don't think you need a video, but you might consider a gui installer that does all this automaticly. I'm not even sure what my problem is anymore.
