OVOS skill installer
December 22, 2020 ยท View on GitHub
Skills can be installed from github branches or releases, from .zip or .tar.gz urls
This tool is meant to be used internally by ovos_skills_manager, as an end user your probably should be using that and not this repository directly.
Usage

from ovos_skill_installer import install_skill
folder = "extract_here"
# using github branches
url = "https://github.com/MycroftAI/skill-playback-control/archive/20.02.zip"
updated = install_skill(url, folder, "skill-playback.zip")
assert updated == True
# should remove files from above
url = "https://github.com/MycroftAI/skill-playback-control/archive/20.08.zip"
updated = install_skill(url, folder, "skill-playback.zip")
assert updated == True
updated = install_skill(url, folder, "skill-playback.zip")
assert updated == False

# Using github releases
url = "https://github.com/JarbasSkills/skill-wolfie/archive/v0.1.tar.gz"
updated = install_skill(url, folder, "skill-wolfie.tar.gz")
assert updated == True
# should remove files from above
url = "https://github.com/JarbasSkills/skill-wolfie/archive/v0.1UPDATE_TEST.tar.gz"
