Quickly set up a Porter environment with required plugins

Breaking change

The recent porter v1.0.5 release introduced a new flag --file on porter plugins install command. Its intention is to allow users to install multiple plugins through a plugins definition file with a single porter command. However, it did not work as expected due to bad file format.

The fix that contains the correct schema has been published with a new v1.0.6 release. If you have an existing plugins file, please update it to work with v1.0.6+.

Install multiple plugins with a single command

Now, you can install multiple plugins using a plugin definition yaml file like below:

schemaType: Plugins
schemaVersion: 1.0.0
plugins:
  azure:
    version: v1.0.1
  kubernetes:
    version: v1.0.1

After creating the file, you can run the command:

porter plugins install -f <path-to-the-file>

The output from the command should look like this:

installed azure plugin v1.0.1 (e361abc)
installed kubernetes plugin v1.0.1 (f01c944)
