copy the file com_jdownloads.plugin.php to <yoursite>/components/com_komento/komento_plugins

using an ftp utility such as File Zilla, your site control panel or a Joomla files manager extension.

There will be a file with that name already at that location so overwrite it with the present one downloaded from jDownloads.

Make sure that the option "Activate support for all Joomla content plugins?" is activated in the jDownloads configuration Frontend tab
Note: Comments are only shown in the Download Details page. But the number of comments may be viewed in the Categories, All Downloads and My Downloads page. Do not use Komento and JComments at the same time!
