Install
From the Marketplace
To install a Skill from the Mycroft Marketplace you can provide a rough title and MSM will return the most likely match.
From a Specific Author
If you know the author of the Skill, particularly where multiple Skills with similar names exist, the install command has an additional optional parameter.
If I wanted a Dice Skill, but only if it was authored by Forslund, I would run:
Such a Skill doesn't exist so MSM returns a list of alternative options from the same author:
From a Github repository
Installing Skills from outside the Mycroft Marketplace is done at your own risk. To be included in the Marketplace, all Skills are reviewed to ensure they contain no malicious or otherwise harmful code. We strongly recommend reviewing any code you are loading onto your device.
To install a Skill that is not included in the Mycroft Marketplace use the url of the repository.
From a Marketplace branch
To install a Skill from a different branch of the Mycroft-Skills Marketplace repository, use the -b flag:
From an Alternate Marketplace
To install a Skill from an independently managed listing of Skills, you can specify the url for that Marketplace using the -u flag:
Updating
All installed Skills
To update all Skills installed on a device run:
Note that if Mycroft detects that any file in a Skill has been modified, it will not update that Skill. This is to prevent loss of any work you are doing in that directory. See MSM Troubleshooting > Uncommitted Changes for tips to resolve this.
Install and update defaults
To install all default Skills for the device, as well as update all Skills, run:
Removal
To uninstall or remove any Skill from the device run:
Note that default Skills will be reinstalled by the system unless they are explicitly blacklisted. See "How do I disable a Skill?" for more info.
Specifying author
The remove command also has an optional author parameter that can be used to specify which Skill you intend to be uninstalled.

To show help information describing how to use MSM's different commands, use the -h flag.
