All packages are stored in the package repository. The repository is a directory named {{Mono|BaseXRepo}} or {{Mono|repo}}, which resides in your [[Configuration#Home Directory|home directory]].
BaseX provides three commands for interaction with the package repository – {{Mono: <code>[[Commands#REPO_INSTALL|REPO INSTALL}}]]</code>, {{Mono<code>[[Commands#REPO_DELETE|REPO DELETE}} ]]</code>, and {{Mono<code>[[Commands#REPO_LIST|REPO LIST}}. The syntax of these commands is described in [[Commands]]</code>. Packages can also be managed from within XQuery, using the [[Repository Module]].
Here we give simple examples of their usage and the usage of a package after it is installed.
