It does not look like you have done anything wrong there. Try and follow this through.

First general information about finding plugins (and script-fu).



If they are installed correctly and working they show using Help -> Plug-in Browser (1) which brings up a search facility. Enter a possible term (2) and look for your script in the results (3). In the information, it gives the location of the script (4)

In this case, look in the gradients dialogue.

In the gradients dialogue (5) a right click pops up the menu, with the plugin entry (6) That gives you the script dialogue. (7)



After you have applied the script. Refresh the gradients (8) Look for the new Gradient. (9) Up there because it is in your Profile folder ~/.gimp-2.8/gradients the entries below are the default gradients that come with Gimp.
