Now that I have found my extension directory, is installing an experimental (or developmental) extension as simple as cloning it into there? eg:

# find extension directory
DIR=$(cv ev --out=pretty 'return (new CRM_Extension_System())->getDefaultContainer()->baseDir')
# change to extension directory
cd $DIR
# clone repo
git clone [email protected]:civicrm/api4.git
# flush cache
cv flush
# enable 
cv ext:enable api4

(obviously some git remote voodoo required still but just wanting to confirm that this is the basics)

  • That all looks correct to me. Is it not working?

    yes it's working - but I couldn't find process documented anywhere so wanted to confirm before adding to the dev guide! Jan 23, 2017 at 3:59
  • Installing an extension manually is mentioned here: wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/…

Yes, that's all you need to do! In my experience, flushing the cache is unnecessary though.
