Install and Upgrade Plugins

Built-in Plugins

NocoBase built-in plugins are automatically updated along with the core version, with no manual action required.

Commercial Plugins

Third-party Plugins

Install Plugins via Command Line

yarn pm pull https://github.com/nocobase/plugin-auth-cas/releases/download/v1.4.0/plugin-auth-cas-1.4.0.tgz
yarn pm pull /your/path/plugin-auth-cas-1.4.0.tgz

If the plugin is already installed in the application and needs to be upgraded, run:

yarn nocobase upgrade --skip-code-update

Manually Upload and Extract

First download the plugin package locally, then manually upload and extract it to the ./storage/plugins directory. If the plugin is already enabled, run the following command after uploading and extracting to complete the plugin upgrade.

⚠️ Note: To avoid cache issues, make sure the NocoBase application has been stopped before executing.

yarn nocobase upgrade --skip-code-update

Correct Way to Extract a Plugin

The following example demonstrates how to correctly extract a plugin package to the specified directory:

mkdir -p /my-nocobase/storage/plugins/@nocobase/plugin-auth-cas && \
  tar -xvzf /downloads/plugin-auth-cas-1.4.0.tgz \
  -C /my-nocobase/storage/plugins/@nocobase/plugin-auth-cas \
  --strip-components=1

This command extracts the plugin to the specified directory without creating an extra package directory level.

/my-nocobase/storage/plugins/@nocobase/plugin-auth-cas
