==Description==

The '''Std AddonMgr''' command opens the Addon manager. With the Addon manager you can install and manage [[external_workbenches|external workbenches]], [[macros|macros]], [[plugins|plugins]], and [[Preference_Packs|preference packs]] provided by the LabRPS community. By default the available addons are taken from two repositories, [https://github.com/LabRPS/LabRPS-addons/ LabRPS-addons] and from the [[Macros_recipes|Macros recipes]] page. If GitPython and git are installed on your system, additional macros will be loaded from [https://github.com/LabRPS/LabRPS-macros/ LabRPS-macros]. Custom repositories can be added in the [[Preferences_Editor#Addon_Manager|Addon manager preferences]].

==Usage==

# Select the {{MenuCommand|Tools → [[Image:Std_AddonMgr.svg|16px]] Addon manager}} option from the menu.
# If you are using the Addon manager for the first time, a dialog box will open warning you that the addons in the Addon manager are not officially part of LabRPS. It also presents several options related to the Addon manager's data usage. Adjust those options to your liking and press the {{Button|OK}} button to confirm and continue.
# The Addon manager dialog box opens. For more information see [[#Options|Options]].
# If you have installed or updated a workbench a new dialog box will open informing you that you have to restart LabRPS for the changes to take effect.

==Options==

# The Addon manager provides two view layouts: "Condensed" and "Expanded". In "Condensed" view, each addon takes a single line, and its description is truncated to fit the available space. "Expanded" shows additional details, including more of the description text as well as maintainer information, more installation details, etc.
# Four different types of addons are supported: [[external_workbenches|workbenches]], [[macros|macros]], [[plugins|plugins]], and [[Preference_Packs|preference packs]]. You can choose to show just one type, or all of them in a single list.
# The list can be limited to show just installed packages, just packages with available updates, or just packages that are not yet installed.
# The list can be filtered, searching for a keyword in the title, description, and tags (description and tags must be specified by the addon developer in their addon's metadata). The filter can even be a regular expression, for fine-grained control of the exact search term.
# The expanded view shows available version information, description, maintainer information, and installation version information, for packages that provide a [[Package_Metadata|package metadata]] file (or for macros with embedded metadata).
# Addon data is cached locally, with a variable cache update frequency set in the user preferences.
# At any time you can choose to manually update your local cache to see the latest updates available for each addon.
# Update checks may be set up to be automatic, or done manually via a button click (configured in user preferences). If GitPython and git are installed on your system then update information is fetched using git. If not, then update information is obtained from any present metadata file.

Clicking on an addon in this view brings up the addon's Details page:

[[File:AddonManager_Details.png|600px]]

The details page shows buttons allowing installing, uninstalling, updating, and temporarily disabling an addon. For installed addons it lists the currently installed version and the installation date, and whether that is the most recent version available. Below is an embedded web browser window showing the addon's README page (for workbenches and preference packs), or Wiki page (for macros).

==Preferences==

The preferences for the Addon manager can be found in the [[Preferences_Editor#Addon_Manager|Preferences Editor]]. {{Version|0.20}}

==Notes==

* The use of addons is not restricted to the LabRPS version they were installed from. You will also be able to use them in any other LabRPS version, supported by the addon, that you may have on your system.
* The addons available in the Addon manager are not part of the official LabRPS program and are not supported by the core LabRPS development team. You should read the provided information carefully to make sure you know what you are installing.
* Bug reports and feature requests should be made directly to the creator of the addon by visiting the indicated website. Many addon developers are regular users of the [https://forum.freecadweb.org LabRPS forum], and can also be contacted there.
* If the [https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython GitPython] package is installed on your computer the Addon manager will use it, making downloads faster.
* You can also install addons manually. See [[How_to_install_additional_workbenches|How to install additional workbenches]] and [[How_to_install_macros|How to install macros]].
