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

plakar-pkg-addInstall Plakar plugins

plakar pkg add 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 force local resolution use an absolute path, otherwise to force remote fetching pass an HTTP or HTTPS URL.

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