Introduction
In LabRPS and in this documentation, an addon is any component that is not part of the base installation, but that can be added to the system by certain methods.
Different types
There are three types of addons:
- Macros: short snippet of Python code that provides a new tool or functionality in a single file ending with
.RPSMacro. - Preference Packs: distributable collections of user preferences.
Installation
The recommended way to install addons is with the 
Addon Manager.
But for macros and workbenches manual installation is also possible:
Information for developers
If you have developed a macro or workbench, and want to see it included in the Addon manager, read how to do so on the repository pages: (LabRPS-addons and LabRPS-macros). If you add your macro to the Macros recipes page, there is nothing else to do, it will automatically be picked up by the Addon manager.
