Command Reference: murex-package

murex’s package manager

Description

murex comes with it’s own package manager to make managing plugins easier.

The format of the packages is a directory, typically located at ~/.murex_modules, which contains one or more murex scripts. Each script can be it’s own module. ie there are multiple modules that can be grouped together and distributed as a single package.

The way packages and modules are represented is as a path:

package/module
    

murex-package is a package management tool for administrating murex modules and packages.

Usage

Install a new package

murex-package: install uri -> <stdout>

Update all packages

murex-package: update -> <stdout>

Detail

murex-package: list… enabled vs loaded

enabled and disabled reads the package status from disk rather than the package cache in your current murex session (like runtime reports). This because the typical use for murex-package list enabled|disabled is to view which packages and modules will be loaded with any new murex session.

If you wish to view what modules are loaded in a current session then use murex-package list loaded instead. This is also equivalent to using runtime --modules.
