It is working for me. I tried it on a site running WordPress 5.7.1 with 38 active plugins.

Note: This code is not a plugin file. It must be uploaded to the root directory (the same directory as wp-blog-header.php).

Is there step by step instructions i could follow I would like to get all installed plugins in json or csv and download I m not a dev but i have 15 years hands on experience just a few steps, what code and where it would be great

I have updated the code to create a CSV output (tab separated because some plugin descriptions contain commas).
If you want the previous format then change the line
$csv_output = true; to $csv_output = false;

Upload the file to the root directory of your website and then access https://example.com/list-active-plugins.php
When you are finished please delete the file because it is a security hole (it has full access to the WordPress site without needing a password).
