- How to install/uninstall plugins
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-
- INSTALL A PLUGIN
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- 1. Read the plugin documentation to find the installation instructions,
- the minimum version of FAR required for correct plugin operation and
- so on.
-
- Install the plugin as described there.
-
- 2. If there are no installation instructions in the documentation, or
- if it was impossible to install the plugin according to the
- instructions given in the documentation, install the plugin
- the following way:
-
- a) create a subdirectory with an arbitrary name in the Plugins
- subdirectory of the directory where FAR is installed.
-
- b) copy the contents of the plugin distribution archive to that
- directory (usually it is enough to copy only *.dll, *.hlf, *.lng)
-
- c) restart FAR manager.
-
- If successful, the plugin will add a menu item to the plugins menu or
- will perform the necessary functions as described in its documentation.
-
-
- REMOVE A PLUGIN
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- 1. Read the plugin documentation to find the uninstallation instructions.
- Remove the plugin as described there.
-
- 2. If there are no uninstallation instructions in the documentation, or it
- was impossible to remove the plugin according to the instructions given
- in the documentation, remove the plugin the following way:
-
- a) Start a new instance of FAR manager with "/p" command line switch
- (FAR will start without plugins).
-
- b) Quit all other FAR manager instances.
-
- c) Delete the directory containing the plugin to be removed.
-
- d) Clear plugins cache. Use the file ClearPluginsCache.bat to complete
- this operation.
-
- e) You can try to find and delete all registry entries belonging
- to that plugin. If you do not know how to do it, ask your system
- administrator. However, this step is completely optional: there is
- no harm in not deleting these registry entries.
