The top-level directory should contain the __init__.py, ankiscript.py and meta.json files , as well as directories for setup, lesson and help data:

Help text may be included in the addon.

Help text should be put into its own directory, which can have any name.

Setup and lessons use the same file layout, with:

• a media directory containing all files to be copied to the Anki media collection

Addon configuration should be defined in a file within the config directory. The file should have a .config file extension, with the filename being the name of the addon being configured, converted to lowercase and with spaces replaced by an underscore.

Card template configuration should be defined in files within the templates directory. The files should be in a alias directory under the setup / lesson directory - see for details on how the file names are derived.

The Anki Script example course setup illustrates this layout:
