Use manager to install local developed plugin #71

Hello,

I was wondering if I could use the package to install a plugin from a local folder? Perhaps the correct question would be, can I use this manager to replace pb_tool?

Regards, Luana

I think it works with a local repository (with file:// instead of https://).

But I don't think you need QGIS-Plugin-Manager to work on your plugin. This is not the correct use case for this tool (as you don't have yet the XML repository) I think you need to create a symlink for instance ?

IMHO, pb_tool is a legacy tool and not needed (I haven't used for more than 10 years). Latest release of PBTool was 10 years ago https://github.com/g-sherman/plugin_build_tool/tags). Latest commit is 6 years ago : https://github.com/g-sherman/plugin_build_tool

I'm closing because it's not the scope of this tool, but you can continue

Hi @Gustry Thank you so much for your reply!

I will try to install with file://. In my case, I was using pb_tool to deploy plugin, but the package is old, that's why I was looking for other manager. But I think I can just move the plugin folder to QGIS plugins folder and it will work, since I install requirements.

Thank you for the attention! Regards, Luana
