Use the command line interface to add a package to a feed.
-
Place the package in a directory.
You can place the package either in the same source directory as the other packages in the feed or in a different directory.
- Open a command prompt.
-
Change directories to the location of Package Manager.
The default location is C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI Package Manager.
-
Run the following command: nipkg
feed-add-pkg "<location of
feed>" "<name and filepath of
package(s)>".
For example, if you enter C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI Package Manager> nipkg feed-add-pkg "C:\temp\myTestFeed" "C:\temp\myTestPackage\my-test-package.nipkg", Package Manager updates the feed manifest files in the C:\temp\myTestFeed directory using the package files in C:\temp\myTestPackage.
