install package without loading it

[bbigras]

I use irony-mode and it seems I don't need to load it with require. I just need to use hooks.

I use (req-package irony-mode) and I get Could not load irony-mode. I wonder if it's because req-package is trying to load it while it shouldn't and I wonder if there's a way to use req-package without loading the package.

Hi, you should use irony as first req-package argument if you use melpa.

Using MELPA

M-x package-install RET irony RET

Using el-get

M-x el-get-install RET irony-mode RET

It works with (req-package irony). There's so many mode that have the -mode suffix that I assumed it was the case with irony. My bad. Thanks.
