PLAKAR-PKG-ADD(1) General Commands Manual PLAKAR-PKG-ADD(1)

plakar-pkg-add — Install Plakar plugins

plakar pkg add [-u] plugin ...

The plakar pkg add command adds a local or a remote plugin.

If plugin matches an existing local file, it is installed directly. Otherwise, it is treated as a recipe name and downloaded from the Plakar plugin server which requires a login via the plakar-login(1) command.

Installing plugins without logging in is possible via the plakar-pkg-build(1) command, provided you have the necessary dependencies to build it locally (currently, official plugins require make and a working Go toolchain).

To install a specific version of a plugin, use the name@version syntax.

The options are as follows:

Update the specific plugins. If none are given, attempt to update all the installed ones.

~/.cache/plakar/plugins/
Plugin cache directory. Respects XDG_CACHE_HOME if set.
~/.local/share/plakar/plugins
Plugin directory. Respects XDG_DATA_HOME if set.

plakar-login(1), plakar-pkg-build(1), plakar-pkg-create(1), plakar-pkg-rm(1), plakar-pkg-show(1)
