<expand|tmdoc-title|Installing and using a plugin>
8
From the user's point of view, a plugin <verbatim|<em|myplugin>> will
9
usually be distributed on some web-site as a binary tarball with the name
12
\ \ \ \ <em|myplugin>-<em|version>-<em|architecture>.tar.gz
15
If you installed <TeXmacs> yourself in the directory
16
<verbatim|$TEXMACS_PATH>, then you should unpack this tarball in the
17
directory <verbatim|$TEXMACS_PATH/plugins>, using
20
\ \ \ \ tar -zxvf <em|myplugin>-<em|version>-<em|architecture>.tar.gz
23
This will create a <verbatim|<em|myplugin>> subdirectory in
24
<verbatim|$TEXMACS_PATH/plugins>. As soon as you restart <TeXmacs>, the
25
plugin should be automatically recognized. Please read the documentation
26
which comes with your plugin in order to learn using it.
29
If you did not install <TeXmacs> yourself, or if you do not have write
30
access to <verbatim|$TEXMACS_PATH>, then you may also unpack the tarball
31
in <verbatim|$TEXMACS_HOME_PATH/plugins>. Here we recall that
32
<verbatim|$TEXMACS_HOME_PATH> defaults to <verbatim|$HOME/.TeXmacs>. When
33
starting <TeXmacs>, your plugin should again be automatically recognized.
37
If the plugin is distributed as a source tarball like
38
<verbatim|<em|myplugin>-<em|version>-src.tar.gz>, then you should first
39
compile the source code before relaunching <TeXmacs>. Depending on the
40
plugin (read the instructions), this is usually done using
43
\ \ \ \ cd <em|myplugin>; make
49
\ \ \ \ cd <em|myplugin>; ./configure; make
54
In order to upgrade a plugin, just remove the old version in
55
<verbatim|$TEXMACS_PATH/plugins> or <verbatim|$TEXMACS_HOME_PATH/plugins>
59
\ \ \ \ rm -rf <em|myplugin>
62
and reinstall as explained above.
