Plugins

You can install external plugins by using the following command:

A list of plugins can be found in this repo. plugin-name is the name of the plugin directory in the repo.

To develop new plugins or manually install them, create a .ppy file inside the global plugins directory. You can find the path to that in the storage file. You can add additional search paths by adding them to a .pth file inside the global plugins directory, just like you can with python path and site-packages.
