There should be two new plugins, one for the tag list and one for the tag
cloud. You need to enable these before you see much change.

If you don't see the plugins, the /home/jd/local/bin/zim script is just
using the libraries of the regular version and failed to find the new ones,
see below.

So I started to install it on an older laptop I've prepared with a

This means the library paths to your installation folder are not set, so the
script doesn't know where to find the library. You can fix this by setting
the PYTHONPATH environment variable poiting to the location where the
libraries ended up (so parent folder of zim/__init__.py).

Alternatively you can skip installing zim and run directly from the source
folder. This is by far the easiest for testing snapshots.

REgards,
