Installing¶
There are 3 main ways to install the plugin:
Install Stable Release From Manifest¶
To install a stable release of the plugin from flow’s plugin manifest, use the following command:
pm install rtfm by cibere
Install Specific Version¶
Want to install a specific version? Well you can by using the github release page
1. Find the version you want to download¶
To install a specific version, head over to the releases page and find the version that you want to install. In my case I’m going to install the v1.0.0a4 prerelease.
2. Get the archive link¶
Now grab the link to the zip file in the assets section.
3. Install the plugin¶
Finally, install the zip using the package manager:
pm install <your link>
# so in my case it would be
pm install https://github.com/cibere/Flow.Launcher.Plugin.rtfm/releases/tag/v1.0.0a4
Install From Source¶
If for whatever reason you want to build the plugin yourself, you can.
1. Download Source files¶
First, download the source files from the github page. This can be done by downloading it as a zip:
or by cloning it using git:
git clone https://github.com/cibere/flow.Launcher.Plugin.rtfm
2. Install Dependencies¶
Next, install the plugin’s dependencies to a folder called lib. This can be done with the following command:
py -m pip install -r requirements.txt -t lib
3. Build the plugin¶
Then build the plugin by running the build_plugin.py file while passing the name of the location. In my case, I’m going to name the built plugin built_rtfm_plugin.zip. That can be done by running:
Note
Make sure the name you pass ends with .zip, as the script will create an archive with the chosen name.
py build_plugin.py built_rtfm_plugin.zip

pm install <path to zip>
