# 7.3.53. `register`

Deprecated since version 5.0.1: Use plugin_register instead.

## 7.3.53.1. Summary

`register` command registers a plugin. You need to register a plugin before you use a plugin.

You need just one `register` command for a plugin in the same database because registered plugin information is written into the database. When you restart your `groonga` process, `groonga` process loads all registered plugins without `register` command.

Note

Registered plugins can be removed since Groonga 5.0.1. Use plugin_unregister in such a case.

## 7.3.53.2. Syntax

This command takes only one required parameter:

    register path

## 7.3.53.3. Usage

Here is a sample that registers `QueryExpanderTSV` query expander that is included in `${PREFIX}/lib/groonga/plugins/query_expanders/tsv.so`.

Execution example:

    register query_expanders/tsv
    # [[0,1337566253.89858,0.000355720520019531],true]

You can omit `${PREFIX}/lib/groonga/plugins/` and suffix (`.so`). They are completed automatically.

You can specify absolute path such as `register /usr/lib/groonga/plugins/query_expanders/tsv.so`.

## 7.3.53.4. Return value

`register` returns `true` as body on success such as:

    [HEADER, true]

If `register` fails, error details are in `HEADER`.

See Output format for `HEADER`.
