About IPM

IPM is a package manager designed to work with applications and modules for InterSystems IRIS Data Platform. It began under the name ZPM, so many commands still go under that name.

Use IPM to search, install, update, remove and publish modules. Each module could be an application, framework, tool or technology example build for InterSystems IRIS. With IPM you can install:

• ObjectScript classes and routines
• Frontend applications
• Interoperability applications
• IRIS BI solutions
• IRIS Datasets
• Embedded python wheels or any files.

Important! You need to follow the naming convention for ObjectScript class names in order to avoid conflicts during the installation.

IPM consists of two components:

• the IPM Client (Command Line Interface, CLI)
  Install IPM Client on your InterSystems IRIS and use it to manage modules.

• The Registry
  The registry is a database of modules and meta-information surrounding it.
