Introduction
This page describes how to set up a personal plugin directory, that will automatically install plugins found herein. It supports single python files as well as directories which contain a __init__.py file.
Adding Pymol-script-repo to PyMOL search path
You should have the Pymol-script-repo directory added to your Python search path. In Pymol-script-repo, is located the folder plugins, which holds the plugin to be automatically installed.
We need to import module plugins (folder Pymol-script-repo/plugins) before the GUI launches. So insert into your $HOME/.pymolrc file:
# eventually add ~/Pymol-script-repo to sys.path
import sys, os
sys.path.append(os.path.expanduser('~/Pymol-script-repo'))
# load the module
import plugins
