To install the Adapt CLI, first be sure to install NodeJS and git, then from the command line run:-

npm install -g adapt-cli

adapt create {type} {path} [{branch}]

type What to create. The only types currently supported are course and component. If you want to create a new Adapt course, use course. If you want to develop a new Adapt component, use component to download a component template. path The name of the directory you'd like the course to be downloaded to (relative to the current directory)
branch (optional) The branch of the framework you'd like to use as the basis for your course. If your needs to support Internet Explorer v8, 9 or 10 then set this to legacy. If not, leave blank or set to master.

For example...

adapt create course "My Course"

This will download the Adapt framework and create an new course in the directory "My Course", in your current directory.

adapt search {name or partial name of plugin to search for}

adapt install {name of plugin}

Additionally you can install a specific version of a plugin.

adapt install {name of plugin}#{version}

Anywhere that you are required to provide a name of a plugin it can be either fully qualified with 'adapt-' or optionally you can omit the prefix an just use the plugin name.

Therefore these commands are equivalent:

adapt install adapt-my-plugin
adapt install my-plugin

Installed plugins are saved to adapt.json.

adapt install

adapt uninstall {name of plugin}

The plugin system is powered by Bower. Each plugin should be a valid bower package and they should be registered with the Adapt registry.

See Developing plugins for more information on defining your plugins package.

From within a plugin directory

adapt register

name and repository will be read from bower.json in the current directory.

The package will be registered with the registry on a first come first serve basis.

From within a plugin directory

adapt unregister

name will be read from bower.json in the current directory

Alternatively, from any directory

adapt unregister <plugin name>

You will be prompted to authenticate with GitHub.

The package will be unregistered with the registry if the authenticated user is a collaborator on the given endpoint or a collaborator on the Adapt framework.

From any directory

adapt rename <plugin name> <new plugin name>

You will be prompted to authenticate with GitHub.

The package will be renamed if the authenticated user is a collaborator on the endpoint registered with the plugin or a collaborator on the Adapt framework.
