WordPress.com isn’t able to install plugins. So if you can’t see the plugins menu in your WordPress dashboard, it’s because you’re using WordPress.com.

In order to install plugins, you’ll need WordPress.org installed. If you’d like to check out the differences between .com and .org I’ve written a blog post on it.
