# Private directory for local packages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The content of this directory is ignored by Git.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the place to store the local packages that you define in the
|
||
|
|
`dotspacemacs-additional-packages` variable of your dotfile.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additional packages can be added using the same recipe as for [adding packages
|
||
|
|
to layers](https://develop.spacemacs.org/doc/LAYERS.html#packagesel) i.e.:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- For a local package:
|
||
|
|
- Load the file explicitly, using the full path to the file, by placing a
|
||
|
|
`(load "~/.emacs.d/private/local/package-name")` within the body of the
|
||
|
|
`dotspacemacs/user-config` function of your dotspacemacs file.
|
||
|
|
- Alternatively create a directory with the name of the package in the
|
||
|
|
`.emacs.d/private/local` directory, and add that directory to the load-path
|
||
|
|
variable by adding `(some-package :location local)` to the list
|
||
|
|
`dotspacemacs-additional-packages` within the `dotspacemacs/layers` function
|
||
|
|
of your dotspacemacs file. After placing your package file into this
|
||
|
|
package-directory the file can be loaded, without requiring the full path, by
|
||
|
|
placing a `(require 'package-name)` within the body of the
|
||
|
|
`dotspacemacs/user-config` function of your dotspacemacs file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- If the package is on (M)ELPA simply add the package name to the list
|
||
|
|
`dotspacemacs-additional-packages` in your dotspacemacs file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- For a package hosted on github the recipe for github packages can be used i.e. add
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
(some-package :location (recipe
|
||
|
|
:fetcher github
|
||
|
|
:repo "some/repo"))
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
to the list `dotspacemacs-additional-packages` in your dotspacemacs file.
