<br>
plasmapkg -i -type dataengine <path to dir containing package><br>

Recently I changed to script engine runtime to pick them up from there assuming the plasmapkg tool was correct. Perhaps that was wrong and I should have changed plasmapkg instead? For example, this is where my ruby time engine gets installed:<br>
