Installation
You can now install from crates.io. Just run cargo install eidolon and install rofi via your distro's package manager!
You'll need rofi and cargo installed. Run:
git clone https://github.com/nicohman/eidolon.git && cd eidolon
cargo build --release
sudo cp targets/release/eidolon /usr/bin/eidolon
Alternatively, check here for a possibly out of date binary.
Unofficial packages
It appears someone is maintaining a package on the AUR.

eidolon help for list of commands:
update : updates registry with installed steam games, lutris wine games and itch games

Configuration
Right now, only three config options exist: menu_command, prefix_command and steam_dirs.
menu_command : The command to be run to display the eidolon menu. Will be given an alphabetical list of names through STDIN, and a name is expected back through STDOUT.
steam_dirs : a |-seperated list of steam install directories, with $HOME replacing the home directory.
prefix_command : A command that will be run as a prefix to every game command. Good for optirun or steam runtime launching.
Default config file:
steam_dirs: |$HOME/.local/share/steam/steamapps|
menu_command: | rofi -theme sidebar -mesg 'eidolon game:' -p '> ' -dmenu |
prefix_command: | |
