As Adapt's core menu, Box Menu is included with the installation of the Adapt framework and the installation of the Adapt authoring tool.

• If Box Menu has been uninstalled from the Adapt framework, it may be reinstalled. With the Adapt CLI installed, run the following from the command line:
  adapt install adapt-contrib-boxMenu

• If Box Menu has been uninstalled from the Adapt authoring tool, it may be reinstalled using the Plug-in Manager.

The Adapt framework does not allow the installation of more than one menu at a time. In order to replace Box Menu it must be uninstalled. With the root of your framework installation as your current working directory, run the following command:
adapt uninstall adapt-contrib-boxMenu
