Since the plugins install subcommand can install both remotely and locally sourced plugins, we update the documentation for it on the web-docs to reflect this change.

# `plugins install`
|
|
|
|
The `plugins install` subcommand installs a Packer plugin.
|
|
|
|
The requested plugin will be remotely installed by default at its latest version, unless a version
|
|
constraint is specified.
|
|
The command also supports installing plugins from a locally-sourced binary, along with its
|
|
expected source location.
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ packer plugins install -h
|
|
Usage: packer plugins install [OPTIONS...] <plugin> [<version constraint>]
|
|
|
|
This command will install the most recent compatible Packer plugin matching
|
|
version constraint. When the version constraint is omitted, the most recent
|
|
version will be installed.
|
|
|
|
Ex: packer plugins install github.com/hashicorp/happycloud v1.2.3
|
|
packer plugins install --path ./packer-plugin-happycloud "github.com/hashicorp/happycloud"
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
-path <path> Install the plugin from a locally-sourced plugin binary.
|
|
This installs the plugin where a normal invocation would, but will
|
|
not try to download it from a remote location, and instead
|
|
install the binary in the Packer plugins path. This option cannot
|
|
be specified with a version constraint.
|
|
-force Forces reinstallation of plugins, even if already installed.
|
|
```
