Installing plug-ins from the Web UI

To avoid navigating to the plug-ins site, you can seamlessly install the latest plug-in versions directly from the Web UI.

You must have ensured that the server has network access and reachable to the plug-ins site. If not, then you must set the com.urbancode.ds.web.cli.rest.plugin.PluginsManifest.url property in the conf/server/getting-started-custom-urls.properties file. For example, set the property as:
com.urbancode.ds.web.cli.rest.plugin.PluginsManifest.url=githubusercontent.com
  1. Go to the Settings > Automation > Available Plugins.
  2. Search for the plug-in you want to install.
  3. Click the menu option on the right of the plug-in for which you want to install.
  4. Click Install.
The plug-in is installed and listed on the Installed Plugins page. After the plug-in is installed, it is available immediately.
Notes:
  • You do not need to restart the server after you install a plug-in.
  • You can upgrade a plug-in by installing the new version over the old version.
  • You cannot roll back a plug-in version to a previous version from the Web UI. To move to a previous version of a plug-in, see Rolling back a plug-in version to a previous version.
