Currently these extensions are not distributed with the app. Just clone the repository and pull from time to time. If you like to share your extensions, you have to fork the repository before you clone, add the extension, commit, push and send a pull request on GitHub.

To install the extensions in user space type the following in your terminal:

git clone [email protected]:albertlauncher/external.git "$HOME/.local/share/albert/"

If you want the extensions to be installed system wide, use the following:

git clone [email protected]:albertlauncher/external.git "/usr/local/share/albert/"

If you feel uncomfortable installing third party extensions that are executed on your system (you should), note that the code is open source and reviewed before it gets into the repository. If you are the detective kind of guy you are free to join the team and review code that people send us.

We do not have the time to take care of packaging compiled external extensions for all platforms out there. If you want to share your extension, please use one of the dozens of script languages out there.
