Plugins in directory mode

[mobab-th]

Hello,

how can i install / use Plugins like datsette-media in directory mode?

[brandonrobertz]

The plugins directory in directory mode only supports single-file plugins. If the plugin you're trying to install isn't a single file, you need to install your plugin using one of the normal methods: pip install (e.g., pip install datasette-media) or datasette install (e.g., datasette install datasette-media)

Try and think of the "plugins" in directory mode less as a full blown library or module, but as python scripts that happen to use one of Datasette's plugin hooks.
