# Extension Manager

The Extension Manager adds, removes, disables, enables, and updates LibreOffice extensions.

For security reasons, the installation and removal of extensions are controlled by settings in the Expert Configuration. By default, installation and removal are enabled.

यो आदेश पहुँच गर्न...

Choose Tools - Extension Manager.

The following are examples of LibreOffice extensions:

1. UNO अवयवहरू (कम्पाइल गरिएको सफ्टवेयर मोडयूलहरू)

2. कनफिगुरेसन डेटा (मेनु आदेशहरूका लागि)

3. LibreOffice आधार पुस्तकालहरू

4. LibreOffice संवाद लाइब्रेरीहरू

5. Extension files (*.oxt files containing one or more extensions of the above listed types)

## Extension Scope

Users with administrator or root privileges will see a dialog where they can choose to install extensions "for all users" or "only for me". Normal users without those privileges can install, remove, or modify extensions only for their own use.

1. A user with root or administrator privileges can install an extension as a shared extension that is available to all users. After selecting an extension, a dialog opens and asks whether to install for the current user or all users.

2. A user without root privileges can only install an extension for own usage. This is called a user extension.

## To install an extension

An extension is available as a file with the file extension .oxt.

You can find a collection of extensions on the Web. Click the "Get more extensions online" link in the Extension Manager to open your Web browser and see the https://extensions.libreoffice.org/ page.

### To install a user extension

Do any of the following:

1. Double-click the .oxt file in your system's file browser.

2. On a web page, click a hyperlink to an *.oxt file (if your web browser can be configured to start the Extension Manager for this file type).

3. Choose Tools - Extension Manager and click Add.

#### To install a shared extension in text mode (for system administrators)

1. As an administrator, open a terminal or command shell.

2. Change to the \/program folder in your installation.

3. Enter the following command, using the path and file name of your extension:

   unopkg add --shared path_filename.oxt

Select the extension that you want to remove, enable, or disable. For some extensions, you can also open an Options dialog.
