eiipm

Eiipm pronounced as ee-pee-em is the package manager of Ewwii (Elkowar's Wacky Widgets Improved Interface).

Common commands

The most common commands in eiipm are the install, uninstall and update commands. Just like their name, they are used to install, uninstall and update packages that you have installed.

Usage example:

# installs staticscript
eiipm install staticscript

# uninstalls staticscript
eiipm uninstall staticscript

# updates staticscript to the latest version
eiipm update staticscript

For a full list of commands and their uses, checkout eiipm documentation.

Adding to path

If you install a binary from eiipm, your shell may say that the binary is not found if you type the name of the binary you installed in the terminal directly. To avoid this, you would need to add eiipm to your path.

To add eiipm to your path, add export PATH="$HOME/.eiipm/bin:$PATH" to your shell's configuration file.

Example:

# Replace ~/.zshrc with your shell's configuration file.
# For example, if you use bash, then it would be ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.eiipm/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

If you dont want to use echo to add it, then you can manually edit your configuration file and add the line export PATH="$HOME/.eiipm/bin:$PATH" in there.

Uploading a custom plugin

If you made a custom plugin and want to register it to ewwii's package manifest, then you should checkout the Ewwii-sh/eii-manifests repository for more info.
