On a Linux installation, these locations are typically
66
``/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/bzrlib/plugins/`` and
67
``$HOME/.bazaar/plugins/``.
68
On a Windows installation, the system location might be
69
``C:\\Program Files\\Bazaar\\plugins``
70
while the personal location might be
71
``C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Bazaar\2.0\plugins``.

One can additionally override the personal plugins location

by setting the environment variable ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``
