I tried the method given in the video, Zipped up the file and and tried to install it via the plugin-menu but I keep getting following message

Hi Zaffar,
This snippet cannot be installed as a plugin. The Manual Entries snippet can be installed as a plugin, but you can install both of these as snippets either in your theme’s
functions.php
file or using a plugin like Code Snippets. Both are required for this snippet to function.
