This method also works for October CMS. In fact, now that the October backend is slightly ahead of Winter, you might enjoy having a look at the differences, messing around w/ the "Install Software" section, and such. Then copy your setup into your winter location. same same but maybe better results. I forget why.

No. Don't be like me and do dumb s#!™ like installing one thing to install the other thing.
anyway.

Use Composer, bro'a.
Go to ./public_html
and do some stuff like
search for winter/wn

Add to it:

Using Composer - getchyer Plugins & Themes

on ssh just do

cd ./my_winter_cms
composer require some/wn-thing-like

Good luck!
