 * I’m using WordPress Version 5.2.2
 * I installed some plugins in the last few weeks and it all worked fine, but today
   when I try installing plugins, I am getting the below error
 * Installation failed: The package could not be installed. PCLZIP_ERR_MISSING_FILE(-
   4) : Missing archive file ‘/tmp/(plugin name).tmp’
 * I took a backup yesterday on C-panel and haven’t done anything different apart
   from adding products/changing pages etc, I’m not sure of the reason for this 
   error. Please advise.

 * Please ask your host if the server’s /tmp partition is full and that your site
   has write access to it

 * This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins,
   and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable
   them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
 * If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and
   change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**. You can then use its admin bar menu to turn on/off plugins
   and themes one at a time.
