The Card Package Manager

What problem does this software solve?

Gives a centralized tool to manage packages (file + image + metadata) and makes them easy to find

Requirements

To install all requirements, use the following snippet after installing python on your machine.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Or just:

pip install cpm

Portability

Depending on what platform you are on, the executable is different.

cpm

Is intended for GNU/Linux distributions

cpm.bin

Should work on Windows. But I don't have a Windows machine/VN to test the package, so expect trouble.

Quick guide

cpm -h

Shows the help cpm search

Lists the packages hosted on the remote repository

cpm info [name]

Shows information about the package [name]

cpm download [name]

Downloads the package [name] and all its dependencies.

cpm compile [name]

Downloads the package [name], and all its dependencies; and compiles the files (.lorebook) into a single file that can be imported.

...Problems?

Be sure you are using the correct executable for your OS.

cpm.bin

For Windows

cpm

For GNU/Linux.

Logs

There is a helpful command

cpm debug

That will print the logs on the terminal screen. Be sure to include either the output or the client.audit file with you when reporting a bug.

Use quotes when using spaces on the terminal

cpm info "Hakurei Reimu"

cpm download "Hakurei Reimu, Kirisame Marisa"

Although using spaces or long names when naming packages is not recommended.

Avoid commas in the package name and tags

Since blank characters are supported, multiple items need to be comma separated. So don't use them anywhere else. (especially on the name or the tags)

Third-party files

Use the full URL for files, including the scheme "https". Also, make sure the URL doesn't point to an insecure website served with HTTPS.
