Installing plugins

A plugin extends Yttri without touching core code. Install from a file, a URL, or a developer folder; every plugin explicitly requests permissions.

Install sources

Open Settings → Plugins and choose one of the following:

• Install from file — a .yttri-plugin package.
• From URL — a link to a package.
• Developer folder — for fast iterations during development.

The marketplace catalog with publishing and package signing is in development. For now, unsigned packages are flagged with a warning.

Two-phase install

• Before installing, Yttri shows which permissions the plugin requests: data domains, read or write access, network hosts, and the stated reason.
• The plugin installs disabled. You enable it manually when you are ready.
• The package is safety-checked before unpacking: structure, paths, and archive.

Updates & rollback

Updates show a permission diff: new rights require explicit consent. Yttri keeps a rollback snapshot, so the Roll back button restores the previous version.

Uninstall

On uninstall, you choose what happens to the plugin’s data: keep, delete, or export.

Note

A disabled plugin runs no code, no background jobs, and has no data access.
