Using Hosted Feeds in NI Package Manger

NI Package Manger (NIPM) requires a direct link to the hosted feed and packages; these steps below allow you to directly access the feed for use in NIPM.

1. From the GitHub web interface, navigate to your subfolder and click on the Packages file that is created by NI Package Manager. This is the feed definition file.

2. Select Raw button shown in the screenshot below. This should open the file directly in your browser with a URL such as https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<Repo_Path_to_File>

3. Copy this URL and add the new feed in NIPM

Installing Packages from the Feed

Once the feed has been added in NIPM, you can install packages from this feed via the Packages tab.

1. Ensure that the Show available packages and feed management tools checkbox is checked in the NIPM settings. If unchecked, the Packages tab used below will not be shown.

2. Select the Packages tab on the far right to show all packages that are available from the currently configured feeds, and search for your package from there.
