Getting Started

RMM is available at rmm on PyPi. To install, run:

pip install rmm-spoons

Ensure that SteamCMD is set up and appended to your path. (Required for Linux/Mac only)

Detailed Installation Guide

Windows

1. Fetch and install the most recent Python 3 release from Python's official website. During the installation, make sure to select 'add to PATH'. With administrative rights, launch the Command Prompt and input:

2. python -m pip install --user rmm-spoons
   

3. (Optional) Append C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Python[version]\Scripts\ to your PATH to use with just rmm.

MacOS

1. Utilize brew to install Python3:

   brew install python3
   

2. To install RMM:

   pip3 install --user rmm-spoons
   

3. Add Python's bin directory to your path:

    echo "export PATH=\"$PATH:$HOME/Library/Python/$(python3 --version | awk '{split($2,a,".") ; print a[1] "." a[2] }')/bin\"" >> ~/.zshrc
   

Arch Linux

RMM is accessible via the AUR package 'rmm'.

• Using Paru (AUR helper)

  yay -S rmm
  

Installation for Other Linux Distributions (via PyPi)

Detailed instructions are provided for Ubuntu and Debian. Kindly consult your distribution's documentation if you use a different Linux variant:

Installing SteamCMD on Ubuntu

sudo su -c 'apt update && apt upgrade && apt install software-properties-common && add-apt-repository multiverse && dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt update && apt install lib32gcc1 steamcmd'
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/usr/games' >> ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL

Installing SteamCMD on Debian

sudo su -c 'apt update && apt upgrade && apt install software-properties-common && add-apt-repository non-free && dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt update && apt install steamcmd'
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/usr/games' >> ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL

Installing RMM via PyPi

Install RMM via PyPi:

python -m pip install --user rmm-spoons

If you encounter a unknown command error, add the following to your .bashrc:

echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL

Configuration

Setting RMM_PATH (Optional)

If RimWorld isn't in its default directory, it's advisable to set the RMM_PATH environment variable pointing to your game directory. This can be achieved in two ways:

Permanently: Edit your shell profile (bashrc, zshrc):

echo 'export RMM_PATH="$HOME/your/game/path"' >> ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL

Temporarily: Only for the current shell session:

export RMM_PATH="~/PATHTOGAME/game/Mods"
