Yazi is installed from the public package list. Its configuration and `package.toml` lockfile are stowed from `yazi/.config/yazi/`, while downloaded plugin code remains local to each device.

In the file manager, `Enter` only enters directories. Press `o` to explicitly open the selected file, or `O` to choose how to open it. Both `q` and the Vim-style `:q` followed by `Enter` quit Yazi.

After `dot init` or `dot update` has stowed the configuration, restore the locked plugins:

```bash
ya pkg install
```

Add, remove, or upgrade plugins with `ya pkg`. These commands update the tracked lockfile through its stowed path:

```bash
ya pkg add yazi-rs/plugins:git
ya pkg delete yazi-rs/plugins:git
ya pkg upgrade
```
