Install plugins

Last modified: 19 March 2022

Plugins extend the core functionality of DataSpell. For example, install plugins to get the following features:

  • Integration with version control systems, issue trackers, build management servers, and other tools.

  • Coding assistance support for various languages and frameworks.

  • Shortcut hints, live previews, File Watchers, and so on.

  • Coding exercises that can help you to learn a new programming language.

Most plugins can be used with any JetBrains product. Some are limited only to commercial products, others require a separate license.

If a plugin depends on some other plugin, DataSpell will notify you about the dependencies. If your project depends on certain plugins, add them to the list of required plugins.

If existing plugins do not provide some functionality that you need, you can create your own plugin for DataSpell. For more information, see Develop your own plugins.

By default, DataSpell includes several bundled plugins. You can disable bundled plugins, but they cannot be removed. You can install additional plugins from the plugin repository or from a local archive file (ZIP or JAR).
