How to install a module

Goal: register a discovered addon in sys.module and load its manifest.data XML.

Steps

1. Ensure the module directory sits under a path listed in addons_path in sumeru.conf (comma-separated). Later entries override same manifest.name.

1. If the addon has Go init() registration, ensure cmd/sumeru/zimports.go blank-imports the addon root package:

```bash

make generate

```

1. Install (one-time per database):

```bash shell copy

go run ./cmd/sumeru -- -c sumeru.conf -i engagement_cookbook --stop-after-init

```

Install multiple modules in dependency order in one go:

```bash shell copy

go run ./cmd/sumeru -- -c sumeru.conf -i base,engagement_cookbook --stop-after-init

```

1. Start the server normally and use Apps or your menus to open data.

Verify

• sys.module row for engagement_cookbook with installed state
• Menus and views from manifest.data appear after sign-in (subject to access rights)
