  Http.HttpEnabled = true;
  local Install = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alphafantomu/AlphaLibrary/master/Install.lua';

What you just got:

• The main library module "AlphaLibrary" in 'ReplicatedStorage'
• All the modules in 'game' or 'DataModel'

Please note that installing AlphaLibrary will not change any behavior in your game. AlphaLibrary does not affect preexisting code.

Updating AlphaLibrary

To update AlphaLibrary, make sure to back up your place file and run the install code above. Existing code will not be tempered with, AlphaLibrary's default libaries will be overriden.

Usage

To load AlphaLibrary on your server and client, use the following code:

  local ReplicatedStorage = game:service'ReplicatedStorage';
  local Library = require(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('AlphaLibrary', 10));
  

Loading a Library

Usually using Library:LoadLibrary(argumentOne, argumentTwo), argumentTwo should be either 0 or 1, 0 making just search for a library of that name, 1 being directly accessing the library.

  Library:LoadLibrary('library_example', 0)

Currently, an example cannot be made as the Library got revamped.
