protonup-ng 0.2.1

Manage Proton-GE Installations

Introduction

ProtonUp-ng: CLI program and API to automate the installation and update of GloriousEggroll's Proton-GE

Note: This is a fork of AUNaseef's awesome ProtonUp. I will maintain this fork until he pulls all needed changes for the new versioning scheme of GE-Proton into his codebase.

Installation

Install from Python Package Index

pip3 install protonup-ng

Install from source

git clone https://github.com/cloudishBenne/protonup-ng && cd protonup-ng
python3 setup.py install --user

Install a snapshot of the repo

pip3 install https://github.com/cloudishBenne/protonup-ng/archive/main.zip
# or any other branch, tag, commit
# pip3 install https://github.com/cloudishBenne/protonup-ng/archive/[branch, tag, commit-hash].zip

If you get a command not found error, add the following to your ~/.profile (if it's not already present) and run source ~/.profile

if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
fi

Usage

Note: The package itself is now called protonup-ng, but usage on the terminal is still protonup to not breaking scripts.

Set your installation directory before running the program with -d "your/compatibilitytools.d/directory"

Example:

protonup -d "~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/"

---

To update to the latest version, just run protonup from a command line

Example:

protonup

---

List available versions with --releases

Example:

protonup --releases

---

Install a specific version with -t "version tag"

Example:

protonup -t 6.5-GE-2

or with the new naming scheme:

protonup -t GE-Proton7-10

---

By default the downloads are stored in a temporary folder. Change it with -o "custom/download/directory"

Example:

protonup -o ~/Downloads

---

List existing installations with -l

Example:

protonup -l

---

Remove existing installations with -r "version tag

Example:

protonup -r 6.5-GE-2

or with the new naming scheme:

protonup -r GE-Proton7-10

---

Use --download to download Proton-GE to the current working directory without installing it, you can override destination with -o

Example:

protonup --download

---

Use -y toggle to carry out actions without any logging or interaction

Example:

protonup --download -o ~/Downloads -y

---

Restart Steam after making changes
