How does one do this. Is it as easy as script/plugin install  
the\_git\_url

I tried this the other night but it just made a directory in my  
vendors directory something like restful\_authentication.git with  
nothing inside. Did I miss something?

Thanks in advance for any help!  
Ed

Ed,  
I guess it is supposed to be that easy, but I’ve got rails 2.0.2  
which I think doesn’t know git.  
Here’s what I did…fyi you might want to check out the older version  
of restful\_authentication.

cd vendor/plugins  
git clone git://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git

Maybe there’s a syntax to do something like this?  
script/plugin install  
git://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git
