The problem is that the plugins manager isn't installed (not entirely sure why?). You need to run pip install plover-plugins-manager, restart plover, and it should work.

I've added this info to the wiki, but maybe we should have the plugins manager installed with plover by default?

I did what is suggested here, but I still do not have the plugins manager available. Ithink it was available not so long ago. This is what I get with 4.0.0.dev10+146.g3e7ba1a:

My answer above is out of date — on archlinux there is now an AUR package plover_plugins_manager https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plover_plugins_manager.

@MarkoSchuetz : looks like you're hitting a bug in requests-cache, fixed in 0.9.1.

Also, note there's currently an incompatibility between the versions of cmarkgfm and readme-renderer shipped on Arch Linux...

[MarkoSchuetz]

@benoit-pierre : I can confirm that updating requests-cache resolves the issue for me.

Thanks

OK it did for a little and now I seem to be running into the issue with cmarkgfm and readme-renderer. Any suggestions?
