File

Packages that are either stored locally on your machine or are accessible via a network drive as a zip file can be installed by using their file system path. The path can be absolute or relative.

Make sure your package zip file has a box.json inside of it so CommandBox can tell the version and name of the package. If there is no box.json, the name of the file without the extension will be used as the package name.

Installation

To install a package from a local file, use the path like so:

install /var/libs/myPackage.zip

Note if using Windows, you need to escape backslashes in the command parameter.

install C:\\websites\libs\\myPackage.zip

Relative paths will start in the directory where the command is being run from.

install libs/myPackage.zip
install ../../libs/myPackage2.zip

In box.json

You can specify packages from file endpoints as dependencies in your box.json in this format. Remember, JSON requires that backslashes be escaped.

{
    "dependencies" : {
        "myPackage" : "/var/libs/myPackage.zip"
        "myPackage2" : "C:\\websites\libs\\myPackage2.zip"
    }
}
