Installation failed: Could not create directory.

I am very green with maintaining a website.
Had some issues with a bad plugin yesterday and now I can not download any plugins.
Help please!

@groceryboi Is the plugin still installed? Was it installed from the WordPress Plugin Repository or one that you downloaded from a third-party site? Can you describe the issues you were having yesterday?
There is no plugins installed. I try to download/install them and that is the error message I am getting.
[HELP] Classifieds plugin
I wanna make a site where users can buy and sell bike parts. I’ve been looking into different classifieds plugins but I can’t decide which one I should go for, or if I should try to make something myself with the help of other plugins. It seems as the classifieds plugins have functions I don’t need, and the functions I want costs extra.Does anyone have experience with a simple solution for creating a site for buying and selling used products?
@groceryboi Were you able to download and install plugins before yesterday? Are you the only WordPress user on the site (and if not, do you know your level of access: Administrator, Editor, Author, etc.)?
@lynsar Yes I was able to download and install plugins before.
Yes I am the only person to touch the back end. I am an admin.was your htaccess file modified by the plugin. It could have written a new rule preventing the downloads. The only other thing I could think of to check is the authority of your plugin folder. Maybe somehow the authority was changed.
@groceryboi Can you tell us how you installed the plugin yesterday? Did you:
1. Search for the plugin on the WordPress Plugin Repository (Plugins > Add New > Search)
2. Upload a plugin that was downloaded elsewhere (Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin)
3. Unzip a downloaded plugin package and upload the files to your website via ftp in your wp-content/plugins folder[HELP] Classifieds plugin

My issue has been solved
Thank You@lynsar I tried to download it from the plugin repository. Also I had a bunch of plugins prior to the problem and now they are all gone.
I am lost 🙁@groceryboi Do you have FTP access? If it seems like the error was caused by a specific plugin and you feel comfortable going this route you can go to public_html>wp-content>plugins and delete the folder for the offending plugin.
Hi guys,
I’m facing the same error. I’m running Ubuntu 16.04 and my server is setup and configured on a VPS. Could it be the issue with permissions? How can I setup permissions correctly? I found this page: https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-file-permissions-and-filezilla-command-line-essays
But I’m not sure if I’m doing everything properly.-
