Hi,
Without using CRM SDK there is one more option we have that "Nuget Package Manager(NPM)"
First you need to download and Install that NPM.
Then open VS and click new project then you have Dynamic CRM option.
Then select Dynamic CRM package.After that it asks your CRM domain details.
After filling all credential and URL details, you have all entities of your current solution.
Right click on your respective entity and select create plugin option.
It generates default plugin code.Write your own logic and deploy the plugin.
After this process,Plugin Automatically register on respective entity.
Here I copy the link for download NPM
