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
• Per-directory tracking makes hosting multiple servers with different mods from one machine easy
• Enable and disable mods independent of N*'s own enabling and disabling

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bash papa install fifty.server_utilities #install a mod papa list #list installed mods papa update #update any out of date mods papa remove fifty.server_utilities #uninstall a mod

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_2.1.0.deb

```

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 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

Caveats

• The default install directory is relative to the current working directory, meaning that running the command in ~/ will install mods into ~/mods
