## Parameters

| name | type | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `name` | `str` | — | the package name to enable |

## Example

```python
from lsdtools.advanced import PackageManager

pm = PackageManager()
pm.enable("mim")   # → True
```

## Notes

Enabling and disabling is a project-scoped setting: an enabled package is loaded on the next launch
so its steps recompute normally. Returns `False` if no such package is known. See
[`disable`](/docs/api-package-manager-disable) for the inverse and its immediate effect.
