How to install plugins using a Node.js setup

#21

Is not the issue here the instruction’s for installing into node rather than the local wiki?

  • I believe a library installs in the current wiki and not the server.

What do you mean by “local wiki”?

Nodejs server and the “local wiki” in the browser are in sync.

TidGi starts a nodejs wiki, and I recommend TidGi user to use CPL to install plugins, so more normal user can get to use TW like use Ob.

Sorry. My mistake @linonetwo I was differentiating between the plugins folder and in wiki installs.

I prefer to drag and drop plugins onto a nodejs wiki that is running in the browser, the plugin tiddler is sync’d to the file system (into the ‘tiddlers’ dir). If I clone a plugins repository from git hub I have to know which version/branch to work with.

Personally I have a lot of checkins with my plugins that are not for user consumption - I release my plugins as single plugin tiddlers (usally on tiddlyhost.com), they have all the relevant version detail.

Drag and drop is much simpler that working with git.

I also build demo plugins or sub-plugins solely in the browser and are these not available via git hub
