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
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
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:
Arch Linux
Community maintained papa
and papa-bin
packages are available on the AUR:
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
or from the git repo
If you want to build from source but don't have cargo installed, you should check out 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
