r2r install

Home › Reference › R2R Cli › Install

Install the EAC extension by pulling its Docker image. When no extension name is provided, installs all configured extensions.

Syntax

r2r install [extension-name] [flags]

Description

The install command manages extension installation. It pulls Docker images from the container registry and registers them for use.

Without extension name:

1. Reads .r2r/r2r-cli.yml for configured extensions
2. Pulls Docker images for all extensions
3. Makes extension commands available

With extension name:

1. Adds the extension to .r2r/r2r-cli.yml
2. Pulls the extension's Docker image
3. Registers the extension for use via r2r <extension> command

Flags

Flag	Description
--load-local	Use local development images instead of pulling from registry
-h, --help	Display help information

Examples

1. Pulls ghcr.io/ready-to-release/ext-eac:latest Docker image
