You've to install just as installing a plugin normally.
Is the first one use Jquery to close/ open the bar?

It isn't a way to simply add recent threads to the sidebar I linked?

No, since it does need sql query to fetch latest threads etc.
Yeah, but in order to download your second plugin, I have to pay 10 $ Dodgy

Not just this plugin. You're paying for almost 100 plugins. Just to make the facts right.

Anyway, you may use the search feature to search various mods that "closely" does what you want, e.g.: http://mods.mybb.com/view/recent-topics-on-index-page
I solved by adding latest threads plugin. Then I add {$elatestthreads} after my sidebar div!
Hoewver, thanks for your help Yaldaram!
