# epochcli

CLI tool for updating and launching [Project Epoch](https://www.project-epoch.net/) on Linux & macOS.

## Setup

Installing is different between Linux and macOS

### Linux
A `wine` prefix with `dxvk` installed is sufficient, or you can use something like Lutris or faugus-launcher and just use `epochcli` for updating.

Download and extract the latest binary from the [releases](https://git.burkey.co/eburk/epochcli/releases) page, build from source yourself, or use homebrew in the macOS instructions below

### macOS

For macOS, I've found the best way to run the client is in a Parallels Win 11 VM. Kegworks, Codeweavers, etc crash when the game starts up and I have not found a good solution so far. Any suggestions would be welcome, see my contact information below.

You can easily install with homebrew or build from source yourself. For homebrew, do the following:

```shell
brew tap eburk/epochcli https://git.burkey.co/eburk/epochcli
brew install --HEAD epochcli

# To update
brew upgrade epochcli --fetch-HEAD
```

## First Run

1. Run `epochcli`. You will be taken through a setup process that configures the program and creates a config file at `$HOME/.config/epochcli/config.toml`
2. You can now use `epochcli` as just a standalone updater or also a launcher based on your configuration. You can always run `epochcli -c` to redo the configuration or edit the config file manually

## Usage
```
> ./epochcli -h
  -c    Runs config configuration step. Overrides the config file
  -f    Forces epochcli to update files even if they match the current version
  -h    Print help
  -u    Ignore EnableLauncher setting in config and only runs an update. Does nothing if EnableLauncher is false
```
