I have no experience with how good this works in practice, I just did set this up and tried and it seems to work with version 9, 10 and 11. To uninstall (all versions), you would do: PacletUninstallĬheck that all versions are gone: PacletFindįinally, to get rid of the added paclet site you would need to do: PacletSiteRemove You should now see that in the list of installed versions and when loading you should get the new version: PacletFind
Mathematica 7 import packages install#
Will actually install the newest available version (if it is compatible with your Mathematica version). Which will return a list of paclets for which the site now has newer versions than what you have installed. If you now put a newer version onto the server and also update the information in PacletSite.mz you can do: PacletCheckUpdate One installed, you can list all installed versions of a package: PacletFind For that we need to add the "Kernel" extension: Paclet[ But it is not sufficient for making it loadable with Needs. This is sufficient to make it possible to pack and install a paclet. with this: Paclet[ĭescription -> "Create LaTeX-typeset labels within Mathematica.", Make sure that Name and Version are present. Then create a PacletInfo.m file in the package root with a minimum amount of metadata. How to add the required metadata?įirst make sure that your package is following the standard directory structure. It is my smallest published package, so I used it for experimentation. I'm going to illustrate this using MaTeX. The metadata makes it possible to manage installation, uninstallation and updating automatically. paclet files appear to be simply zip files that can contain a Mathematica package or other extensions to Mathematica, along with some metadata in a PacletInfo.m. paclet files, which are easy to distribute and install. To use Paclet Manager functions, it may be necessary to evaluate Needs first. Most of the information is derived from studying GitLink.

I originally posted this on Wolfram Community, following a nice tutorial by Emerson Willard on how to create paclets using Workbench. There's a lot more to learn about the paclet manager, so please contribute another answer if you can, or correct this answer if you find any mistakes. The following answer is not complete, but does give one possible solution.
