Prepare an Extension ​

Start with a connected interface. Your source guide supplies an Extension name, version, and Source type. Extension identity and configuration are shared, but each Peer selects its own native Distribution and exact version. Only install code you trust with the host's authority. Do not change a working installation merely to match an example.

Prepare the Core collector ​

  1. Open Extensions in the Web app and choose Browse Registry. Search for the Extension named in your source guide and select the Python Distribution's exact version. Choose Install in your Web app. On the returned page, verify the coordinate/version, select the online Core in Peer, and choose Install. This selects a version for that Peer; it does not enable it.
  2. Back in Extensions, find Core's row under Used on Peers. Wait for any managed restart, refresh its status, then choose Enable in that row. A Python collector such as RSS runs on Core, not This browser.
  3. If the guide requires Extension-wide settings, open Edit Config and save them. Source account settings belong in Sources, unless the guide says otherwise.
  4. Open Sources, create a Source, and check that its Type is available. An installed entry alone does not prove that the collector is running.

If enablement fails, check that the affected Peer is online and that this release includes a compatible distribution for it. Do not choose This browser as a workaround for a Python-only collector.

For an existing selection, use Change Version or Remove in the target Peer's row after disabling it. Other Peers retain their selections; shared configuration and collected information remain. Documentation opens links for that Peer's exact native release.

Browser Extensions and setup wizards ​

A browser Extension adds capabilities such as content rendering or a Setup wizard. For a release with compatible Python and browser distributions, select a compatible Module Federation release in This browser's row and enable it there. Open Setup when that button appears.

Python and Module Federation versions are independent; equal version numbers are not a compatibility test. Check each Host's SDK range and the Extension's shared business contract. The Twitter guide walks through its paired Core and browser setup.

Select and enable on Core ​

Use the name and version in your source guide. For example, RSS on Core Host SDK 0.3.x:

sh
inkcre-cli extension select inkcre/rss --distribution python --version 0.2.1
# If selection reports a restart, wait for connection check to succeed before enabling.
inkcre-cli extension enable inkcre/rss
inkcre-cli source types

For an existing selection, inspect inkcre-cli extension status inkcre/rss first. Use --peer PEER_ID to target another Peer; omission targets the connected Core. Disable that Peer before changing or removing its selection with extension unselect. Configuration and command output may contain credentials; keep them private.

Return to your source's guide for its settings and first-run checkpoint.
