A.8.8 Add-ons
Typical files for add-ons.
The main Mathematica distribution CD-ROM typically includes certain standard add-ons. Many further add-ons are also available. All add-ons are typically installed in the AddOns subdirectory of your main Mathematica folder.
Typical possible contents of the directory for an add-on.
With the default setting for the kernel $Path variable, an add-on can be loaded from within a Mathematica session simply by using the command <<name`. This will load the init.m file for the add-on, which should in turn be set up to load other necessary files or packages.
By placing the directory for an add-on in AddOns/Autoload/, you can have Mathematica automatically load the add-on whenever you start the kernel or the front end.
Note that with the default setting for the front end documentation path, all documentation in Documentation directories will automatically show up in the front end help browser.
