There is error in make localinstall command

rm -f /home/maktub/.config/geany/plugins/jsonprettifier.so
cp -f ./jsonprettifier.so /home/maktub/.config/geany/plugins
chmod 755 /home/maktub/.config/geany/plugins/jsonprettifier.so
chmod: cannot access '/home/maktub/.config/geany/plugins/jsonprettifier.so': Not a directory
make: *** [Makefile:42: localinstall] Error 1

Thanks for reporting the issue @macktab! It seems that $HOME/.config/geany/plugins directory is missing and the cp command might have placed "jsonprettifier.so" file in "/home/maktub/.config/geany" with the name "plugins" instead. I'll investigate further on that.

Meanwhile as a quick workaround I'd suggest checking whether "/home/maktub/.config/geany/plugins" exists as a directory and creating it if is missing. Then make localinstall should work.

In addition, on some environments the plugin directory can be missing despite the presence of Geany. As an extra measure localinstall now attempts creating the directory beforehand.
