Manage TouchDesigner community packages
manage_packagesDestructive
Search, list, inspect, install, or uninstall TouchDesigner community packages. Dry-run by default; stages under ~/.tdmcp/packages without running third-party scripts.
Instructions
Search, list, inspect, doctor, dry-run install, stage, and uninstall manifest-driven TouchDesigner community packages. Dry-run is the default. Installs stage packages under ~/.tdmcp/packages and only import into TouchDesigner when the bridge is reachable and the package has a safe .tox import path. This tool never runs third-party scripts, pip installs, model downloads, or external app setup.
