Installation and first launch

Symptoms​

  • Explyt cannot be found on the Marketplace tab;
  • the plugin window does not appear after installation;
  • the first launch cannot be completed.

What to check​

  1. The IDE version, from 2025.1 to 2026.2. Explyt supports IDEs on IntelliJ Platform 2026.2 and earlier platform versions starting from 2025.1.
  2. Manage Plugin Repositories contains the address https://repository.explyt.dev/ with no extra spaces.
  3. The IDE was restarted after installation.
  4. The IDE has access to the plugin repository and to the Explyt service.

Fix​

Repeat the steps from the quickstart: add the repository, find Explyt on the Marketplace, install the plugin, and restart the IDE. If the plugin is already installed, check that it is enabled in the Plugins list.

If Explyt is installed but the window is not visible, choose View | Tool Windows | Explyt or click the Explyt button on the right-hand tool window bar. A missing Explyt entry after a restart usually means the plugin is not installed, is disabled, or is incompatible with the current IDE version.

On the first launch, choose the connection mode you need: Personal, Community, or Enterprise. Their differences are described in the modes reference, and the reproducible connection steps are in initial setup.
