BUILD FAILED when installing plugins

[Sean Wheller <se...@inwords.co.za>]

I get a BUILD FAILED when running "forrest install-plugin". I get the same 
errors when the zip archives are saved local. Is it not supported to prompt 
me for a name. btw the "forrest available-plugins" command works.

As mentioned in a previous mail, the docs you indicated you were using 
are out of date (the ones you found in the archives). It is no longer 
necessary to install plugins manually. You need to work with the current 
docs linked to by David previously, this will tell you how to get 
Forrest to auto-install any needed plugins.
