<!-- Installing Non-Standard Modules -->
<title>Third-Party Modules</title>
<p>Some resource modules in Sword Project format are available from sources
other than Crosswire and not from a module manager-ready repository.
Necessarily, installing such a module is a manual task.</p>
<p>Modules are normally packaged as *.zip files; they contain a configuration
file plus a number of data files. Installation of such a module is done by
cd'ing to your personal Sword (not <app>Xiphos</app>) configuration directory,
~/.sword, and unzipping the file there. The configuration file will be left in
"mods.d", and the module's data files will go into a subdirectory of
"modules". Alternatively, if you have write access to the system Sword
directory, typically /usr/share/sword, you may cd there instead before
unzipping.</p>
<p>Restart <app>Xiphos</app> after installing such a module, so that a fresh
instance of the program can notice the new module in place.</p>
