01. Getting started

1. Go to the latest release and download the XML file.

2. Import it into IRIS and compile via any desired way (Management Portal, Studio or Terminal)

If you are working with InterSystems IRIS Community Edition in Docker, you can use Docker Images, which already include IPM instead of step 1 and 2.

3. Check that calling zpm in the command line results in the following

    USER>zpm

    =============================================================================
    || Welcome to the Package Manager Shell (ZPM).                             ||
    || Enter q/quit to exit the shell. Enter ?/help to view available commands ||
    =============================================================================
    zpm:USER>

Prior to IPM 0.9.0, this would automatically be available in all namespaces. To make IPM available in all namespaces as of 0.9.0, run:

zpm "enable -map -globally"

4. To get the list of all available modules use search command

    zpm: USER>search
    registry https://pm.community.intersystems.com:
    analyzethis 1.1.4
    dsw 2.1.41
    objectscript-package-template 1.0.3

The Registry pm.community.intersystems.com is used by default.

5. Install or Update a module using install command:

    zpm: USER>install objectscript-package-template

or

    zpm: USER>install objectscript-package-template -v

Key -v (-verbose) produces verbose output from the command.
