[[meta title="Installing third party plugins"]]
Most ikiwiki plugins are perl modules and should be installed somewhere in
the perl module search path. See the @INC list at the end of the output of
perl -V for a list of the directories in that path. All plugins are in
the IkiWiki::Plugin namespace, so they go in a IkiWiki/Plugin subdirectory
inside the perl search path. For example, if your perl looks in
/usr/local/lib/site_perl for modules, you can locally install ikiwiki
plugins to /usr/local/lib/site_perl/IkiWiki/Plugin
You can use the libdir configuration option to add a directory to the
search path. For example, if you set libdir to /home/you/.ikiwiki/,
then ikiwiki will look for plugins in /home/you/.ikiwiki/IkiWiki/Plugin.
Ikiwiki also supports plugins that are external programs. These are
typically written in some other language than perl. Ikiwiki searches for
these in /usr/lib/ikiwiki/plugins by default. If libdir is set, it will
also look under that directory, for example in /home/you/.ikiwiki/plugins.
Note that this type of plugin has to be executable for ikiwiki to use it.
