You can have Gramps manage the process of checking and downloading Addon updates by changing your settings to match the highlighted section in the screenshot to the right or read the following.
To configure Gramps for Addons:
# Start Gramps
# Select Menu {{man menu|Edit -> Preferences...}}
# Go to the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#General|General]]}} tab
# In the '''Third party addons management''' section:
# Change {{man label|Check for addon updates:}} so when you start Gramps, it checks for updated Addons:
## ''Never'' - never checks for updates when you start Gramps (''This is the default setting'')
## ''Once a month'' - checks for updates when you start Gramps once a month
## '''Once a week''' - checks for updates when you start Gramps once a week ('''This is the recommended setting''')
## ''Once a day'' - checks for updates when you start Gramps once a day
## ''Always'' - checks for updates whenever you start Gramps
# Change {{man label|What to check}} so when you check for updates, it checks for:
## ''Updated addons only'' - does not check for new addons
## ''New addons only'' - does not check for updated addons (''This is the default setting'')
## '''New and updated addons''' - checks for all new and updated addons ('''This is the recommended setting''')
# Verify that the {{man label|Where to check}} has the correct URL. To locate the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gramps-project/addons/master/gramps{{Stable branch}}/listings/addons-en.txt list of addons] for your current language and version, it should be set to:<br /><code>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gramps-project/addons/master/gramps{{Stable branch}}</code>
# Change the {{man label|Do not ask about previously notified addons}} check box:
## {{checkbox|1}} Checked: Means that new/updated addons are only asked about once; afterwards it doesn't show them to you (''This is the default setting'')
## {{checkbox|0}} Unchecked: Means that new/updated addons are always shown to you ('''This is the recommended setting''')
# Assuming you have an '''Internet''' connection. You can now optionally select the {{man button|Check for updated addons now}} button to force a check for Addons using the updated settings.
# From the {{man label|[[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Available_Gramps_Updates_for_Addons|Available Gramps Updates for Addons]]}} window you will be shown a list broken down by '''Type''' that you can view by selecting the "Select" column expand out each "Type".
# You can then select the check box of those Addons you want to install.
# Then select the {{man button|Install Selected Addons}} button to download those Addons from the ''Internet''.
# Once downloaded from the {{man label|Done downloading and installing addons}} dialog select the {{man button|Close}} button
# From the {{man label|Preferences}} dialog select {{man button|Close}} button.
# To use the Addons you need to {{man menu|Family Trees>Quit}} and restart Gramps.
