Indeed not.  Not even close.

   mu'ghom chu' yIjom!
   Install new dictionary! (sg.)

   mu'ghom chu' tIjom!
   mu'ghommey chu' tIjom!
   Install new dictionaries! (pl.)

The plural suffix {-mey} is optional, since the imperative prefix {tI-} 
implies a plural object (i.e. "Do (something) to them!").   If space is 
short - and you want to show off for some Klingonists - you can omit it.
