Installing plug-ins

Use the dita install subcommand to install plug-ins.

Procedure

At the command-line prompt, enter the following command: 
dita install <plug-in>

where:

  • the optional <plug-in> argument is one of the following:
    • the unique ID of the plug-in as defined in the plug-in registry at dita-ot.org/plugins (or a local registry)
    • the remote URL of the plug-in’s distribution ZIP file
    • the name of a local ZIP file
Note: In earlier versions of DITA-OT (2.4–3.4), use the double-hyphen option syntax dita --install. In DITA-OT 2.0–2.3, use the single-hyphen form: dita -install.
Tip: If no ID, URL, or file argument is provided, the installation process reloads the current set of plug-ins from the plugins directory. This approach can be used to add or remove multiple plug-ins at once, or any individual plug-ins you have already copied to (or removed from) the plugins directory. Any plug-ins added or removed in the process will be listed by their plug-in ID.
