How to install an add-on to a remote host?

How To
1

I typically work on a Mac for development, but unfortunately one of projects I work on is built on Debian and has some library incompatibilities with OSX and won’t build locally. The good news is, I can get around that by using a linux build of Komodo IDE on the remote Debian server and launching it in an X11 window after connecting to the remote server with ssh -X -CY

However, this creates a problem with installing add-ons as it means I can’t just drag-and-drop the xpi file(s) and have them install.

Is there a way to install the xpi file(s) manually (i.e. on a command-line) on the remote Debian installation?

Thanks!

Hi! Installing via the command line isn’t supported, but if you go to the Tools menu and open Addons, there’s a button to the left of the search bar at the top right corner that lets you browse the local filesystem (so, on your Debian machine). Hope that helps!

Perfect - worked like a charm. =)
