Prepare an Extension ​

Start with a connected interface. Your source guide supplies an Extension name, an exact compatible version, and its Source type. An Extension is installed once in the deployment; enabled clients share that version and configuration. Only install code you trust with the host's authority. Do not change a working installation merely to match an example.

Prepare the Core collector ​

  1. Open Extensions. In Control Extension on Client, select your online Core client.
  2. Look for the name from your source guide. If it is absent, enter its Extension Name and exact Version in Install New Extension, then select Install Extension. The selected Core validates the Python release; Python-only collectors such as RSS do not need a browser package.
  3. Turn on the Extension's switch while Core is still selected. Installation alone does not start it. Enabling only This browser does not start a Core collector.
  4. If the guide requires Extension-wide settings, open Edit Config, enter its configuration object, and save. Source account settings belong in Sources, unless the guide says otherwise.
  5. Open Sources, create a Source, and check that its Type is available. A listed installation alone does not prove that the collector is running.

An offline client cannot validate an installation. If installation fails, keep your entered name and version, read the error, and check the selected client and release compatibility before trying again. An older Core may need an update to support installation through this Web control. Do not switch to This browser as a workaround for a Python-only collector.

For an existing installation at another version, use Change Version only after checking both Hosts and disabling every client using it. Version and configuration are shared across the instance.

Browser Extensions and setup wizards ​

A browser Extension adds capabilities such as content rendering or a Setup wizard. For a release with compatible Python and browser distributions, enable it on Core, then select This browser and enable it there too. Open Setup when that button appears.

Do not install a different shared version to obtain a wizard without checking both Hosts. The Twitter guide walks through its paired Core and browser setup.

Install and enable on Core ​

Use the name and version in your source guide. For example, RSS on Core Host 0.2.x:

sh
inkcre-cli extension install inkcre/rss --version 0.2.0
inkcre-cli extension enable inkcre/rss
inkcre-cli source types

For an existing installation, inspect inkcre-cli extension get inkcre/rss first. Version changes affect all clients using the installation. Configuration and command output may contain credentials; keep them private.

Return to your source's guide for its settings and first-run checkpoint.
