Did you get it from here http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/wp-live-css-editor/ which says NO PERMISSIONS NOR ROLES SETTINGS YET, DONT USE THIS PLUGIN ON PUBLIC SITES, IT’S JUST FOR DESIGNER TIME.
If that is ok it should run like a normal plugin. Activate it and should add something to the editor or somewhere else on the menu bar.

i did. i am not clear what the benefit of this plugin is when I can simply edit the css files in WP already or use Vi editor.
utter confusion getting a development environment together w/o any experience in WordPress!
It allows “real time” edits but like you I don’t see the need. If you edit in wp you are close to real time anyway.
I edit php and css in dreamweaver and upload to the server. Any problem and I hit the “undo” button and upload the original again.
If setting up a development environment with the goal of bringing an project live I wouldn’t myself use an untested plugin. Got enough to worry about.

makes sense, thanks… dreamweaver is your development environment… i’m not at the point where i think it makes sense to move to that app.
any suggestions, book recommendation, or local tutor to hire! to get on board with css code? in order to make changes to a theme’s framework ie. placing a logo at the top left of my home page, rounding out edges of sections/boxes, changing fonts?
thanks much..

There are literally thousands of free courses on the web where you can search for specific things you want to do.
I set wp with the default theme and then started playing with css to see how it worked. Basically 5 years later I am still doing the same thing. I should have long ago taken some free web classes. There are all kinds of books. I started with and still use CSS for Dummies and Word Press for Dummies .
Good luck!
