Hello! I installed appium plugin through terminal Ubuntu Gnome

`appium plugin install --source=npm appium-device-farm`

But if i ssh connect to Ubuntu, I don’t see the plugin

```auto
appium plugin list

✔ Listing available plugins (rerun with --verbose for more info)

- execute-driver [not installed]

- images [not installed]

- inspector [not installed]

- relaxed-caps [not installed]

- storage [not installed]

- universal-xml [not installed]

```

However, I see this plugin in the terminal Gnome

Why I don’t see the plugin in the ssh?

the user in Gnome and ssh is the same!

Cause in ssh you connecting can have environment not configured. Have similar while adding macMinis to jenkins as slave via ssh. Workaround inject paths. To check this execute

```auto
echo $PATH

```

in terminal and after connecting by ssh. And compare output.
