A RimWorld Mod Manager

RMM: Rimworld Mod Manager

RMM is an open source RimWorld mod manager designed for Unix systems. RMM uses the SteamCMD binary to download mods.

Installation

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. Improvements in this process will follow.

Prerequisites

To use RMM you need:

• SteamCMD installed and in your path.
• set RMM_PATH to your RimWorld mod directory.

Install SteamCMD

1. A. For Arch Linux, you can install steamcmd using makepkg as stated below:

mkdir -p ~/build ; cd ~/build
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/steamcmd.git
cd steamcmd
makepkg -si

1. B. Alternatively, you can install it using a 'AUR Helper' such as yay.

yay -S steamcmd

2. Verify steamcmd is correctly installed:

whereis steamcmd

Should return a path such as below. Otherwise check to make sure steamcmd is in your path.

steamcmd: /usr/bin/steamcmd /usr/share/steamcmd

Set RMM_PATH (Optional)

RMM will first search for the default GOG games installation directory, steamcache folder, before falling back to an error message if this value is not set. This value takes precedence over those defaults. I recommend setting this variable.

1. A. Set RMM_PATH variable to the 'Mods' sub directory in your Rimworld game folder in your .bashrc or .zshrc. For example:

# Note please update this path to your actual game or mod directory
echo 'export RMM_PATH="$HOME/GOG\ Games/RimWorld" > ~/.bashrc

1. B. Alternatively, you can change this path at runtime. This is useful when managing multiple copies of the games.

export RMM_PATH="~/PATHTOGAME/game/Mods"
rmm list
# or you can use
RMM_PATH="~/PATHTOGAME/game/Mods" rmm list

python3 -m pip install --user rmm-spoons
