You can download the plugin binary directly here:

https://clis.ng.bluemix.net/ui/repository.html#bluemix-plugins

Then run bx plugin install ~/Downloads/my-plugin.


You could run this command to add Bluemix to your list of available repos:

bx plugin repo-add Bluemix https://plugins.ng.bluemix.net

After that, when you list your repos, it should be there:

$ bx plugin repos
Listing added plug-in repositories...

Repo Name   URL
Bluemix     https://plugins.ng.bluemix.net

Then you can list the plugins:

$ bx plugin repo-plugins
