## Installing the Yeoman Generator {#installing-the-yeoman-generator}
|
||
|
||
Verdaccio is a pluggable application, with the objective to help developers to generate new plugins, we have a custom generator based in **[Yeoman](https://yeoman.io/)** for generate all sort of plugins.
|
||
|
||
To install the generator, as first step you must install the *yeoman* command `yo`.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
npm install -g yo
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
then, install the custom generator running the following in your terminal.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
npm i -g generator-verdaccio-plugin
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Using the generator {#using-the-generator}
|
||
|
||
Use `yeoman` is quite straighforward, you can read more information about it [here](https://yeoman.io/learning/index.html).
|

||
```
|
||
|
||
- On describe your plugin, be brief and explicit, remember a good description will increase your chances your pluing to be used.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||

|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- Don't hesitate to include meaningful keywords, as `verdaccio`, `plugin` or your plugin type. Good keywords will help us to find you and future improvement in our collect information about all plugins.
|
