I am developing a plugin for the WordPress repository.
I'm going to use redux for the settings.
redux is a wordpress option managment plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/redux-framework/
But I do not want to install redux as a user plugin. And I want it to be part of the core of my plugin.
Can I publish the plugin to the repository?

If you try to bundle a copy of another plugin inside your plugin it will be rejected. It would be better to disable your plugins functionality and throw up a prompt indicating that the redux framework plugin needs to be installed.
Even then this may not be allowed as your plugin sounds more like an add-on than a standalone plugin, they may see this as a problem.
To get a 100% certain answer though on what you should do instead, you will need to ask the plugin reviewers directly, rather than on this stack.
