Polly Example Package

This is a demonstration package showing the proper structure and metadata requirements for creating Polly-compatible packages.

Package Files

.install.polly.json (Required)

This is the core metadata file that Polly uses to understand how to install your package.

Required fields:

• install: a list of commands to be executed sequentially when the package is installed.
• uninstall: a list of commands to be executed sequentially when the package is uninstalled.

Note: On package upgrade, the uninstall commands and then the install commands will be executed!

.polly.json (Optional)

Additional metadata for package discovery and information display.

Install File Format

{
  "install": [
    "echo Run commands here when the package is installed!"
  ],
  "uninstall": [
    "echo Run commands here when the package is uninstalled!"
  ]
}

Usage

1. Test the example:

   python3 main.py

2. Use as template:

   • Copy this directory structure
   • Modify .install.polly.json with your commands
   • Update .polly.json with your package information
   • Replace main.py with your application code

Notes

• Install/uninstall commands are executed in the package directory during installation
• Commands run with the privleges you give them, use sudo to run as root
• Use absolute paths in when possible
• Test your package structure before publishing
