Working with external plugins
Quantum Package has very few executables out of the box. Most of the time,
external plugins need to be downloaded and installed in the
$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:
qp_plugins download http://somewhere/over/the/rainbow/ext_repo
This downloads a copy of the repository of external plugins ext_repo
in $QP_ROOT/plugins
.
The list of available uninstalled plugins can be seen using:
qp_plugins list -u
Now, the specific plugin ext_module
contained in the repository
ext_repo
can be installed using:
qp_plugins install ext_module
The module is now accessible via a symbolic link in $QP_ROOT/src
,
and can be compiled as any module, running Ninja.
To remove the module, run
qp_plugins uninstall ext_module
