Introduction

Eggs are CHICKEN-specific extension libraries, conviently packaged in a source archive. They are stored in a centralized repository and can be downloaded and installed (mostly) automatically.

To install any of the eggs run the following command, replacing name for the egg's name:

chicken-setup name

This will download the egg and install it.

If you want to help document the eggs, please consult the eggs guidelines.
