How to install Koha plugins for development
Hi, I am a new Koha developer from windy and cold Finland. As new to the Koha-community, I'd like to wish all the best for everyone in the community. I have a problem with installing Koha plugins. I tried to find guidelines how install plugin from Git-repository, but haven't found. I'm forking a plugin and setting up an environment for development and testing. What is the the preferred way to install plugin from Git? Best Regards, Samu Heiskanen
The way I do it is: add a directory to the koha-conf.xml with a <pluginsdir> tag, that will be where I `git clone` the plugins. `git pull` as necessary, then `koha-shell [instance] -c /usr/local/koha_source/misc/devel/ install_plugins.pl` That's with the koha instance running from the koha_source directory in dev_mode.

Hi, Plugins are great :D Note that git repo must contain dirs Koha/Plugin/xxx For example add <pluginsdir>/home/koha/plugins/koha-plugin-opac-matomo</pluginsdir> for plugin https://github.com/biblibre/koha-plugin-opac-matomo For some plugins you may have to patch to set version. For example https://github.com/bywatersolutions/koha-plugin-coverflow Replace in Koha/Plugin/Com/ByWaterSolutions/CoverFlow.pm : our $VERSION = "{VERSION}"; Don't forget to restart plack after each code change. Re-run misc/devel/install_plugins.pl if you implement a new hook in your plugin. You may look at https://github.com/bywatersolutions/dev-koha-plugin-kitchen-sink to see examples of implemtation.

You should use koha-testing-docker, there's an alias specifically for that. Once you use it, the instructions Michael have you are similar! El mié., 19 ene. 2022 16:31, Samu Heiskanen <samu.heiskanen@hypernova.fi> escribió:
