Description

This script lets you search, install,
and manage OpenRCT2 plugins from the OpenRCT2 Plugins database.
It uses the plugin API to find plugins and GitHub API to download them.

Installation

1. Make sure Python is installed
2. Download orct-pldl.py from Codeberg or GitHub
3. Place the script in your OpenRCT2 plugin folder
4. Run the script from within the plugin folder (this ensures config and downloaded files stay in the right place)
