SC supports extensions to its class library, documentation, and server UGen plugins. Extensions should be packaged as a
|
|
single folder containing all three (for convenient addition or removal), or any combination, which can then be placed in
|
|
platform-specific extension directories in order to be included.

|
section:: Platform Specific Directories
|
|
|
|
You can install extensions simply by copying the extensions to the following location. There are different directories
|
|
for per-user and system-wide extensions that apply to all users.. The locations can be obtained by running
|
|
code::Platform.userExtensionDir:: and code::Platform.systemExtensionDir::.
|
|
|
|
Typical user-specific extensions directories:
|
|
table::
|
|
## macOS || ~/Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/Extensions/
|
|
## Linux || ~/.local/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
Typical system-wide extension directories:
|
|
table::
|
|
## macOS || /Library/Application Support/SuperCollider/Extensions/
|
|
## Linux || /usr/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/

|
section:: How Extensions Folders Should be Organised
|
|
|
|
Class files and UGen plugins are recognised by their file extensions. Anything placed within a folder named
|
|
teletype::ignore/:: (case insensitive) will be ignored when compiling the class library or loading plugins.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example folder layout:
|
|
|
|
teletype::MyExtension::
|
|
tree::
|
|
## teletype::classes::
|
|
tree::
|
|
## teletype::myClass.sc::
|
|
## teletype::myUGens.sc::
|
|
::
|
|
## teletype::plugins::
|
|
tree::
|
|
## teletype::myUGenPlugins.scx::
|
|
::
|
|
## teletype::HelpSource::
|
|
tree::
|
|
## teletype::Classes::
|
|
tree::
|
|
## teletype::MyClass.schelp::
|
|
## teletype::MyUGen1.schelp::
|
|
## teletype::MyUGen2.schelp::
