Introduction

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

Eggs Unlimited 3 is the official list of eggs, along with their documentation.

Here you can see the dependencies among eggs.

Installing eggs

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.
