Introduction

Eiipm is a fast and eligant plugin manager made in rust for Ewwii. It helps automate and manage your ewwii plugins with ease!

Installation

Basics

Ewwii supports plugins which allow extending the core functionality of the ewwii engine. The plugins go into the plugins/ directory inside an ewwii configuration. For example, let's say you have an ewwii configuration at ~/.config/ewwii/. To add and use a plugin, you have to create a plugins/ directory inside ~/.config/ewwii/ and place the plugin there.

~/.config/ewwii/plugins/
  |- libxyz.so 
  |- libabc.so

Although this is straightforward, things can get messy quickly when you have a lot plugins. This is where eiipm comes in. Just run eiipm init in the ~/.config/ewwii/ directory and the basic plugin manager setup, including the plugins/ directory will be automatically created. After this, all the plugins can be maintained either by editing the plugins.toml file or using the eiipm commands shown in later sections.

Even if you don't use many plugins, eiipm can still be useful as it automates downloading and compiling the plugins.
