| 5 | |
| 6 | For the impatient, here is an extremely brief overview of how to |
| 7 | install plugins. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | 1. Change to the plugins directory. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | $ cd plugins/ |
| 12 | |
| 13 | 2. Unarchive the plugin. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | $ tar -zxvf /home/me/myplugin.tar.gz |
| 16 | |
| 17 | 3. Note the directory that the plugin was created into. For this |
| 18 | example, we will assume it was put in the directory: myplugin/. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | 4. Read the README or other documentation in your new plugin. Follow |
| 21 | any important configuration instructions inside (usually there are |
| 22 | none). |
| 23 | |
| 24 | 5. Go to the config directory and run conf.pl |
| 25 | |
| 26 | $ cd ../../config/ |
| 27 | $ ./conf.pl |
| 28 | |
| 29 | 6. Choose option 8 and proceed to add the new plugin following |
| 30 | the instructions there. Save and exit, and your plugin should |
| 31 | be in place. |
