asdf: Install a plugin.
$ asdf plugin add ${name}
try on your machine
The command "asdf plugin add ${name}" is used with the asdf version manager to add a new plugin to the asdf configuration.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "asdf": The asdf command refers to the version manager itself.
- "plugin add": This part of the command is used to add a new plugin to asdf.
- "${name}": This is a placeholder that represents the name of the plugin you want to add. You would replace "${name}" with the actual name of the plugin you're interested in adding.
To effectively use this command, you need to replace "${name}" with the name of the plugin you want to add. The name typically corresponds to the language or tool associated with the plugin. For example, if you want to add the Node.js plugin, you would replace "${name}" with "nodejs". Similarly, if you want to add the Python plugin, you would replace "${name}" with "python".
Once you run the command with the specific plugin name, asdf will proceed to download and add the plugin to its configuration, allowing you to manage multiple versions of that language or tool.
