Prepare an Extension ​

Start with a connected interface. Your source guide supplies an Extension name, version, and Source type. An Extension is installed once in the deployment; enabled Peers share its 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 the Web app and choose Browse Registry. Search for the Extension named in your source guide, open its details, and select that guide's exact version. The Registry page shows its Core and Web distributions. Choose Install in your Web app, check the Extension and version on the returned page, then choose Install. This does not require a Peer selection or start the Extension.
  2. Back in Extensions, choose Enable… on the installed Extension. In the dialog, select your online Core Peer by name and version, then choose Enable selected. You may select more than one Peer. A Python collector such as RSS runs on Core, not This browser.
  3. If the guide requires Extension-wide settings, open Edit Config and save them. Source account settings belong in Sources, unless the guide says otherwise.
  4. Open Sources, create a Source, and check that its Type is available. An installed entry alone does not prove that the collector is running.

If enablement fails, check that the affected Peer is online and that this release includes a compatible distribution for it. Do not choose This browser as a workaround for a Python-only collector.

For an existing installation, expand Version and removal to change its version or uninstall it. Check both Hosts and disable every Peer using it first. Version and configuration are shared across the deployment. Documentation opens links to the guides published with that exact release.

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 use Enable… again to select This browser. 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 SDK 0.3.x:

sh
inkcre-cli extension install inkcre/rss --version 0.2.1
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 Peers 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.
