symfony's command line plugin install and uninstall tasks don't work - this could be because the server i'm working on does not have internet connection. so i have to do things manually.

manual install

• download the package from plugins site (if not previously downloaded)
• unzip / untar the file. if the directory contain version number, rename it.
• copy the directory to /path/to/your/project/plugins.
• do the normal setup
  • edit config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php to add the new plugin
  • run symfony plugin:publish-assets

manual uninstall

• delete the plugin directory from /path/to/your/project/plugins
• edit config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php to remove the plugin
• run symfony plugin:publish-assets
• search for any other 'traces' of this plugin, if running from unix server, from project root, run find . -name "name_of_plugin*" -print. adding '*' to the name make sure you will not miss any files.
• if there are any files and diretories with this plugin name, delete them
• run symfony cc to clear everything
