How to install additional platforms with the Octopus script, on an existing Octopus instance? [#1422082]

When installing an Octopus instance, there is the option to choose platforms such as Drupal 7, NodeStream, etc. The default is:

_PLATFORMS_LIST="D7P D6P OAM MNS NSM"

I customized this list, and the chosen platforms were installed perfectly. A really great installation script, indeed.

However, later, when trying to use more platforms on the same Octopus instance, by adding them to the list and running again the Octopus script, no new platforms were added. Maybe the list can only be decided during the first installation; I'm not sure.

Is there a way to install additional platforms on an existing Octopus instance, using the Octopus script? Thank you very much.

More specific title, for clarity. Is there any documentation about this?

You can add more platforms on any next run, excluding only D7S, D7D, D6S, D6D (these extra copies are useful for dev/stage/prod workflow and can be installed only on initial install), but you need to do that in the config file, not in the script, as explained and displayed when you are running the script again. Just edit your /root/USER.octopus.cnf file.
