# Lite XL Plugin Manager

My attempt at a lite-xl plugin manager. A standalone binary that provides an easy way of installing, and uninstalling plugins from lite-xl.

Can be used by a package manager plugin that works from inside the editor and calls this.

Releases forthcoming, should be available on Windows, Mac, Linux and FreeBSD.

Also contains a plugin_manager.lua plugin to integrate the binary with lite in the form of an easy-to-use GUI.

## Quickstart

If you have a C compiler, and `git`, and want to compile from scratch, you can do:

```
git clone git@github.com:adamharrison/lite-xl-plugin-manager.git --shallow-submodules \
  --recurse-submodules && cd lite-xl-plugin-manager && ./build.sh && ./lpm
````

If you want to build it quickly, and have the right modules installed, you can do:

```
./build.sh -lz -lssl -lgit2 -lcurl -lcrypto -llua
```

CI is enabled on this repository, so you can grab Windows and Linux builds from the 
`continuous` [release page](https://github.com/adamharrison/lite-xl-plugin-manager/releases/tag/continuous).

You can get a feel for how to use `lpm` by typing `./lpm --help`.

## Use in CI

To make pre-fab lite builds, you can easily use `lpm` in CI. If you had a linux build container, you could do something like:

```sh

curl https://github.com/adamharrison/lite-xl-plugin-manager/releases/download/v0.1/lpm.x86_64-linux > lpm
export LITE_USERDIR=lite-xl/data && export LPM_CACHE=/tmp/cache
./lpm add https://github.com/adamharrison/lite-xl-plugin-manager && ./lpm install plugin_manager lsp

```

## Usage

```sh

lpm update && lpm install aligncarets
lpm uninstall aligncarets

lpm add https://github.com/adamharrison/lite-xl-plugin-manager.git
lpm install plugin_manager
lpm rm https://github.com/adamharrison/lite-xl-plugin-manager.git

```

## Building

### Linux

```
./build.sh -DLPM_VERSION='"'0.1-x86_64-linux-`git rev-parse --short HEAD`'"'
```
