EpublishingRailsPluginInstaller - An extension of standard rails plugin script

to provide support for local file system and tgz files

Introduction

The standard rails ‘plugin’ script lacks support for installing from the local file system as well as installing tar.gz files. (The latter scenario greatly speeds up installation from http as the alternative is downloading each file, one-by-one.)

This class piggy-backs on the standard rails ‘plugin’ command and can be used as a complete replacement if so desired.

Installation

gem install epublishing-rails-plugin-installer

Git Repository

github.com/ePublishing/epublishing-rails-plugin-installer

Prerequisites

Usage

epub-plugin install /some/location/on/the/disk
epub-plugin install http://somewhere.com/foo/a_plugin.tgz
epub-plugin install http://somewhere.com/foo/another_plugin.tar.gz
