This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

wp plugin install https://github.com/jemirokasih/secure-pdf-protector/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
