Installation errors

When loading the mypy-plugin.jar I get the following error:

Fail to load plugin descriptor from file mypy-plugin.jar

Sorry for this! Could you please tell more about how do you (try to) install the plugin? I can't reproduce this, since I have an older PyCharm build.

[nschejtman]

@ilevkivskyi Yes. I go to Preferences -> Plugins -> Install plugin from disk... and select the mypy-plugin.jar I've downloaded from the link in the Readme. Just after that I get the error.

I've encountered the same issue. I'm on PyCharm 2018.1 and Ubuntu 16 as well. As silly as this sounds I've been able to install it if I downloaded using the download button inside the github preview. If I've downloaded the file from the link in README, I get the above mentioned error.

Seems that if you download directly from the description, you get a HTML document instead of proper jar (even thought the filename suggests otherwise).

[nschejtman]

@Lameorc hahahaha that actually worked!

[lightway82]

Very strange

[ilevkivskyi]

Oh, I am so sorry. Somehow it worked for me. I will update the link in the description later today.

[ilevkivskyi]

OK, I updated the link in README, could you please double check that it works correctly?

[nschejtman]

@ilevkivskyi yes! Works fine now
