System Modules

CommandBox can be extended by modules installed from external locations. When you install a CommandBox module, it will automatically be placed in the correct modules location (inside your CommandBox installation) regardless of where you run the install command from.

install commandbox-fusionreactor

Later, if you want to view, uninstall, update, or otherwise interact with these system modules, you can just use the standard package management commands, but add the --system flag to them. Any time you add that flag, the current working directory will be ignored, and you'll be interacting with the core modules installed into CommandBox.

package list --system
package update --system
package uninstall commandbox-fusionreactor --system

The package commands that accept a --system flag are as follows:

• package install

• package uninstall

• package outdated

• package list

• package update

• package show

• package set

• package clear
