TORRUS_INSTALL_PLUGIN(7) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the torrus manual, section 7 — yes we're in the big-girl section, the one for commands and miscellany. sit down, grab a boba, and let's talk about the lil command that makes Torrus plugins appear out of thin air. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

install_plugin — the one that installs the Torrus plugin. that's the whole job. she does one thing and she eats every time. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

torrus install_plugin DIRECTORY

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, this command installs a Torrus plugin. iconic, we know. 🫶

but listen — before you run it, you gotta unpack the plugin package into some directory first. like, get the tarball situation sorted. then you point install_plugin at the path of that unpacked plugin distribution. that's the DIRECTORY in the synopsis, bestie. no mystery there. 💖

once you do that, the command does the little build dance for you, and honestly? she's a whole project manager:

  1. she launches the ./configure script for the plugin 🔧
  2. and she feeds it all the options that specify the current Torrus installation paths — so the plugin knows exactly where home is 🏠
  3. then she runs make 🛠️
  4. and then make install 💫

and that's it. plugin installed. slay.

heads up: that ./configure → make → make install chain only works if the plugin actually shipped with those files, so point her at a real unpacked plugin distribution, not a random folder you made at 3am. 🙈
