List of Extensions#

ezmsg extensions can be installed individually or all at once. To install all the extension packages in one go, you can use the following command:

pip install "ezmsg[all_ext]"

This will install all the available public extension packages for ezmsg that are listed in pyproject.toml. If you prefer to install a subset of extension packages, you can use the following command:
