Installing Plugins

There's 2 ways of installing plugins, and 3 types of plugins.

Plugin types:

• Single File (limited)
• Source Folder (raw source code, uncompressed, slightly limited)
• .Freedeck file (ASAR bundle, uncompressed, fully supported)
• .fdpackage file (.tar.gz bundle, compressed, fully supported)

On this page, I'll just be going over the .fdpackage files, as they're easiest to understand.

If you want a technical explanation of both the .Freedeck and .fdpackage type, or even creating plugins, this is the page to go to.

Marketplace

The Marketplace allows you to easily download plugins from official or community repositories.

Requirements

To download any plugin from the built-in Marketplace, you must have Handoff installed.

Installing a Plugin

• Click Marketplace on the right sidebar in the Freedeck desktop app.
• Find a plugin you like!
• Click Download!
• If Freedeck exits, that's normal. Just start it again!
  • Sometimes installing a plugin causes the reload process to need to restart.
• The plugin is now installed.

Checking if a Plugin is installed

• Click Plugins on the right sidebar in the Freedeck desktop app.
• There will be a list of plugins.
• If you don't see the name of the plugin you just downloaded, you may need to reload the plugin list.
  • This is done by clicking Reload All Plugins.

What are all these buttons?

All of the buttons you see on the Plugins page is every type that a tile can be.
