Compile yourself
See the downloads page to get a tarball of Geany-Plugins and unpack it. (tar xzf tarball.tar.gz or tar xjf tarball.tar.bz2). Then use either waf or autotools to compile and install it. Note you will need to have different compile tools (such as gcc) and libraries (e.g. CTPL for GeanyGenDoc) installed.
autotools
This is the way to build Geany-Plugins which you may know better, because
it's more widely used. The possibility to use autotools to compile and install
Geany-Plugins is provided for compatibility reasons, if you do not have
installed python or there is any other reason which prevents you from using waf
For compiling Geany-Plugins with autotools, do the following:
./configure
make
make install
You can get more detailed information about possibilities by running
./configure --help
