Installation

Step-by-step guide to install the language module and set up the necessary environment to start using it.

The JavaScript Language Module can be installed in two ways: manually downloading the release or using the Plugify package manager. This guide explains both methods and provides step-by-step instructions.

Method 1: Manual Installation

Download the Release

  1. Go to the JavaScript Language Module repository.
  2. Navigate to the Releases section.
  3. Download the archive for your platform: plugify-module-v8-<version>-linux_64.tar.bz2 or win_64.

Extract the Package

  1. Create a new folder inside addons/plugify/envs, for example envs/v8.
  2. Extract the archive into it. The manifest plugify-module-v8.pmodule must end up in the root of that folder.

Verify Installation

  1. Run plg load in the server console, or restart the server.
  2. Run plg modules: the module is listed as v8_module.

Method 2: Installation via Package Manager

Open the Server Console

The mamba command is built into the server console, so nothing has to be installed first. Package operations run while Plugify is unloaded: plg unload before them and plg load after. See Commands.

Install the Module

  1. Run the following commands in the server console: 
    plg unload
mamba install -n modules -c "https://untrustedmodders.github.io/plugify-module-v8/" plugify-module-v8
plg load
    Enter the commands one at a time, as described in Commands.

Verify Installation

  1. Run plg modules: the module is listed as v8_module.

Folder Structure

After installation, the JavaScript Language Module should have the following folder structure:

Explanation

  • addons/plugify/envs/modules: The environment mamba installs language modules into. Other modules live in the same folder.
  • bin: Contains the compiled module binaries (.dll for Windows, .so for Linux and .dylib for macOS).
  • lib: The plugify module for plugins (plugify.mjs) and the ICU data file.
  • v8: The V8 engine libraries.
  • plugify-module-v8.pmodule: The module manifest file that describes the module and its language.

Troubleshooting

Module Not Found

  • Ensure the repository URL is correct and accessible.

Installation Fails

  • Check your internet connection.
