Download the current boot manager plpbt-5.0.14.zip. Extract it to get the boot manager install program. You find the install program plpinstc.com in the install directory.
Copy plpinstc.com to /boot.
Example file /etc/grub.d/40_custom
#!/bin/sh exec tail -n +3 $0 menuentry "Install Plop Boot Manager" { set root='(hd0,1)' linux16 /boot/plpinstc.com }
Then run update-grub2 or update-grub.
When you reboot, you should be able to choose the install program from your grub menu.
Info: You have to choose the correct root settings in your configuration or you get a "Error: file not found". See also this Forum entry.
