Papa
Mod manager CLI for Northstar
## Features - Install and update Northstar from the command line - Search Thunderstore for mods from the command line - Download a mod *and* its dependencies with one command - Easily keep your mods up to date ## Usage ```bash papa install fifty.server_utilities #install a mod papa list #list installed mods papa update #update any out of date mods papa remove fifty.server_utilities #uninstall a mod ``` ## Upgrading to v4.0.0 v4 includes support for Northstar's new native thunderstore package loading, meaning that mods that live in the current `mods` directory won't be managed by `papa` anymore. I suggest running `papa export` before updating to v4, and then running `papa import` to reinstall your mods in the new `package` directory. The old mods will need to be removed manually, just be sure to not delete the `Northstar.` core mods (or at least run `papa ns init -f` to reinstall them afterwards) ## Installation I suggest that you initialize Northstar to set everything up automatically ```bash papa ns init ``` Or create a file at `.config/papa/config.toml` and set `install_dir` to whatever directory you want ### Ubuntu/Debian(& derivatives) Download the `.deb` file from the latest release and install it using whatever you usually use to install packages: ```bash sudo apt install ./papa_4.0.0.deb ``` ### Arch Linux Community maintained `papa` and `papa-bin` packages are available on the AUR: ```bash paru -S papa ``` ### Windows Download and run the `.msi` installer from the latest release. ### Using prebuilt binaries Download the appropriate binary for your system (make sure you get the `.exe` for Windows) and place it somewhere in your PATH. You should then be able to call the `papa` command from your favorite command line. ### Building from source If you have cargo installed on your system, you should be able to install `papa` directly from [crates.io](https://crates.io) ```bash cargo install papa ``` or from the git repo ```bash cargo install --git https://github.com/AnActualEmerald/papa ``` If you want to build from source but don't have cargo installed, you should check out [rustup.rs](https://rustup.rs) #### Dependencies * pkgconfig * openssl ## Caveats - The default install directory is **relative to the current working directory**, meaning that running `papa install` in `~/` will install mods into `~/mods`
