jpm add @jolie/tquery

jpm will take care of of downloading the correct files composing the package and place then under the packages directory that if not present will be created

By default the jolie language interpreter looks for its packages in the local directory packages if it exists so for using the tquery package now installed in your local project directory can be used

from @jolie.tquery.main import TQuery

that can be red as

from directory.directory.naneOfTheServiceFile    import nameOfTheService

to remove

jpm remove @jolie/tquery
