How should I install Far Manager into Cmder?
8,513
Actually, doesn't matter where you've installed Far Manager. The only significant condition - Far must load ConEmu plugin.
- Update ConEmu to the latest build.
- Install Far using msi package, goto ConEmu settings and press "Add default tasks" on the tasks page. Far task will be created for you.
- Or, you may create task manually - just don't forget about /p switch - pass both ConEmu/plugins and Far/plugins folder.
Also. You can unpack Far distro into "conemu-maximus5" folder (far.exe will be in the same folder as ConEmu.exe). In that case you may just run "far.exe" from new console dialog.

I have just unzipped the cmder package. Cmder wraps ConEmu nicely. But how do I install Far Manager properly?
I can think of
cmder\
,cmder\vendor\
andcmder\vendor\conemu-maximus5\
as possible locations, but I have actually no clue how to approach this since ConEmu is wrapped inside Cmder. -
Exception e over 9 yearsI now have unpacked Far Manager into
cmder\vendor\
and updated init.bat to@if exist "%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\farmanager" ( set PATH=%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\farmanager;%PATH%")
taken from here. This looks like your last recommendation right? -
Maximus over 9 yearsI'd said "don't forget about /p switch". Have you created a Task?
-
Exception e over 9 years<del>Yes, I have now one task with a /p switch. I think the ConEmu plugins aren't loaded, doesn't show an entry for Lines, or Thumbs..
%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\farmanager\far.exe /p"%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\conemu-maximus5\plugins;"%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\farmanager\Plugins\"
</del> Sorry, it seems ConEmu plugins are loaded right now, since it is possible to view thumbnails now. -
Exception e over 9 yearsIt seems ConEmu plugins are loaded correctly, since it is possible to view thumbnails now! Sorry, thanks!
