Yes, that would be fine

Something like the following code snippet for cypress

    ( https://github.com/CampSmalltalk/cuis-cypress )


"To install Cypress, assuming the package files are in 'cuis-cypress-master'
in a subdirectory of the working directory"

#(
 'cuis-cypress-master\Cypress-Definitions.pck'
 'cuis-cypress-master\Cypress-Structure.pck'
 'cuis-cypress-master\Cypress-Mocks.pck'
 'cuis-cypress-master\Cypress-Structure.pck'
)
   do:
    [ :fileName | CodeFileBrowser installPackage:
                          (FileStream concreteStream
readOnlyFileNamed: fileName)
