Plugins have been tested with the Albert python v0.4
interface. If you're
looking for a version that works with earlier versions of the plugin, see the
prior-to-v0.4
branch. I'm using Python 3.6.8
.
It's really so easy writing plugins and automating parts of your workflow using Albert and its python extensions. That's the very reason I started writing them.
Requirements:
v0.4
Clone this repository under your local Albert python plugins directory. By
default the that is: ~/.local/share/albert/org.albert.extension.python/modules
.
Then go to the Albert settings and enable the plugins that you are interested in using. Beware that you may need to install some more dependencies depending on the plugins you use. These dependencies will probably be pointed out either when you enable, or when you run the plugin for the first time. Refer to the directory of the corresponding plugin for more details.
ddgr
-based pluginsThe search plugins that use ddgr
have not been committed to this repo. You
can generate them offline using the create_ddgr_plugins.py
script provided.
Make sure you have Python >= 3.6 installed:
pip3 install --user --upgrade secrets requests ddgr cookiecutter
./create_ddgr_plugins.py
This will generate an Albert plugin for each one of the search engines specified
in create_ddgr_plugins.py
. Adjust the latter as required if you want to
add more or remove plugins.
generate_plugins_only_for = [
"alternativeto",
"amazon",
"askubuntu",
"aur.archlinux",
...
]
Very well, then after cloning this repo, just symlink or copy the plugin of
choice under your local python plugins directory. For example for the jira
plugin:
cp -r plugins/jira ~/.local/share/albert/org.albert.extension.python/modules/jira
After that, enable the plugin from the Albert settings.
