Every plugin seems to have its own installation method, but the
most common seems to be:

move the plugin to
/home/<username>/.local/share/OpenChemistry/Avogadro/

and run

python install_plugin.py /home/<username>/.local/share/OpenChemistry/Avogadro/


Overall, this seems to be a remarkably poorly documented system.
