elm: Install Elm package from https://package.elm-lang.org.
$ elm install ${author}/${package}
try on your machine

The command elm install ${author}/${package} is used to install an Elm package from a specific author on your local Elm project.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • elm install: This is the command to install an Elm package.
  • ${author}: This is a placeholder for the name of the package author. You need to replace it with the actual author’s username or organization name on the Elm package repository.
  • ${package}: This is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to install. You need to replace it with the actual package name.

For example, if you wanted to install a package named list-extra authored by elm-community, the command would be:

elm install elm-community/list-extra

This command will fetch and install the specified package and its dependencies in your Elm project, making it available for use in your Elm code.
