You can use "tce-load -w extension_name"

Of course this only works natively.

By natively, I meant that it only works in tinycore.

If you have to download extensions using windows, then you'll need to do it manually.

Why do you need to use windows?

If you have cygwin on the MS Windows side, you can use wget in a script:

wget one or more extensions from the repo, along with their .dep files, then...
  • cat all dep files into one big super.dep file
  • run that through sort and uniq
  • for each dep extension listed in the super.dep file, if extension not already present, wget extension with its .dep file

Repeat steps 1 - 3 above until there are no unresolved deps to pull.

Such a script is useful on Windows/cygwin (especially if one has an ext filesystem driver) and also, for instance, when upgrading - running 4.x but pulling down extensions for 5.x where you are using neither the default repo nor the default tce directory.  And, unlike tce-load, you can run it as root, though you should chown the extensions to tc:staff at the end.

If you don't already have it, cygwin is a non-trivial download, but it is, IMHO, worth having.
