I have the development version of gephi, It does not include marketplace access. The files are distributed by the gephi page at https://gephi.org/plugins/#/plugin/graphstreamin. The installation files for the plugin should be extracted and installed using the add plugins button in the Downloaded tab of the plugins modal (tools > plugins).
