# Packages A package is a plugin that defines a list of features (such as dashboards, datasources etc.) that can be installed by an LIVE admin user and a list of required entities and plugins. These definitions should be stored inside a manifest file, which can be either yaml or json. An example of a package source structure is shown below: * live-plugins/plugin-my-package * pom.xml * src/main/resource * manifest.yaml All packages require the [plugin-package-manager](https://marketplace.intelie.com/artifact/plugin-package-manager). Without it, LIVE will not recognize a package plugin as a package and will not allow the admin user to install the features. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
