+Optionally, you can add an array of strings, `PLUGIN_DEPENDENCIES`, to provide a list of plugins published in murkmod that your plugin requires to run correctly. Plugin dependencies are resolved recursively, so be careful about creating deep dependency trees that may increase installation times.
+
 Otherwise, publishing of a JS plugin is identical to that of a bash plugin - fork the murkmod repo, add the file to `/plugins`, and make a PR.

 Of course, you should change this to match your plugin. Every time you update your plugin, you should increment `PLUGIN_VERSION`. Everything below the initial variables, though, is what is executed when you run the plugin from the mush menu.
 
+Optionally, you can specify a array of plugin names, `PLUGIN_DEPENDENCIES`. These plugins will be installed automatically when this plugin is installed.
+
+```sh
+PLUGIN_DEPENDENCIES=("plugin_1.sh" "plugin_2.sh")
+```
+
 To add a plugin to this repository (for easy download from mush), just fork the repo, add the file in `/plugins/` and make a PR. I'll review it and merge it if it doesn't do anything malicious.
 
 The second comment at the top defines the type of the plugin. There are threeplugin types:
