Installing Project Planner

Project Planner is available for Obsidian Desktop. There are two ways to install the plugin: manual installation from GitHub, or automatic installation via BRAT.

Method 1: Manual Installation

  1. Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the GitHub Releases page .
  2. Open your vault's root folder and navigate to .obsidian/plugins/.
  3. Create a new folder called obsidian-project-planner.
  4. Copy the three downloaded files (main.js, manifest.json, styles.css) into the obsidian-project-planner folder.
  5. Restart Obsidian.
  6. Go to Settings → Community plugins and enable Project Planner.
Note: If you don't see the .obsidian folder, make sure hidden files are visible in your file explorer. On macOS press Cmd+Shift+., on Windows enable "Show hidden files" in File Explorer options.

Method 2: Using BRAT

BRAT (Beta Reviewers Auto-update Tester) is a community plugin that makes it easy to install and automatically update beta plugins.

  1. Install the BRAT plugin from Obsidian's built-in Community Plugins browser (Settings → Community plugins → Browse).
  2. Enable BRAT, then open BRAT Settings.
  3. Click Add Beta plugin and enter the repository URL: 
    ArctykDev/obsidian-project-planner
  4. BRAT will automatically download and install the latest release.
  5. Go to Settings → Community plugins and enable Project Planner.
Tip: BRAT automatically checks for updates and keeps the plugin current. You don't need to re-download files when a new version is released.
