Working with external plugins
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|qp| has very few executables out of the box. Most of the time,
|
|
external plugins need to be downloaded and installed in the
|
|
:file:`$QP_ROOT/plugins` directory.
|
|
|
|
Plugins are usually hosted in external repositories. To download a
|
|
plugin, the remote repository needs to be downloaded, and the plugins of
|
|
the repository can be selected for installation.
|
|
|
|
To download an external repository of plugins, run the following
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
qp_plugins download http://somewhere/over/the/rainbow/ext_repo
|
|
|
|
|
|
This downloads a copy of the repository of external plugins :file:`ext_repo`
|
|
in :file:`$QP_ROOT/plugins`.
|
|
|
|
The list of available uninstalled plugins can be seen using:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
qp_plugins list -u
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, the specific plugin :file:`ext_module` contained in the repository
|
|
:file:`ext_repo` can be installed using:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
qp_plugins install ext_module
|
|
|
|
|
|
The module is now accessible via a symbolic link in :file:`$QP_ROOT/src`,
|
|
and can be compiled as any module, running |Ninja|.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To remove the module, run
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
qp_plugins uninstall ext_module
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
