• Open Clion and select “Open”. Select the jhelper-example-project from the path where you saved it in the prior step. At the bottom of your window you should see the event log panel which should say “Plugins Suggestion: Plugin supporting feature … is currently not installed” (if you do not see this panel go to View -> Tool Windows -> Event Log to view it). Click “Configure plugins... “ here, which will prompt you to install the JHelper plugin, click “Ok” and “Accept” to do this. Clion will prompt you to restart Clion to activate the plugin, do this.

Click the + button to add a seperator, then click + and then select Add Action - Plug-ins - JHelper and select all 6 icons at once by holding shift and clicking top and then bottom icons, then Ok, Ok to complete adding icons. Make the toolbar visible to see the icons. View - Appearance - ToolBar
• Now to run the example “Task.cpp” that is already present select in the run dropdown, which may initially say “Build All | Debug”, select the “Task” entry in the dropdown. After that click the green arrow pointing to the right to run the task. At this point you should see the output of the task being successfully run.
