Wiener

The script automatically downloads and installs the programs on your system and it also installs any prerequisites first, so you don't have to worry about them.

To check which programs are available for install, check the packages directory in this repository.

Requirements

Before installing, please make sure to have the appropriate graphics drivers installed. Reffer to Lutris and Arch wikis.

Download

To download the script, open a new terminal window, navigate to a folder in which you want to save the script (e.g. cd ~/Downloads) and copy the following code snippet to the terminal:

curl -Lo wiener.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kndndrj/wiener/master/wiener.sh; \
chmod +x wiener.sh

That should have created a new file called wiener.sh.

Alternatively you can just clone the git repository.

Usage

Simple Install

For a simple installation, just run:

./wiener.sh <package_name> install

Custom Install Directory

If you want to specify your own install directory and a directory to store downloads to, run:

./wiener.sh <package_name> install -p <your/install/directory> -t <your/downloads/directory>

Installation Failed

If the installation process was interrupted or you have any other problems during install, try using install-clean instead of install. For example:

./wiener.sh <package_name> install-clean -p <your/install/directory> ...

Updating programs

If you need to update any programs, just perform a clean install again:

./wiener.sh <package_name> install-clean

Uninstalling

To uninstall, simply run:

./wiener.sh <package_name> uninstall

And follow the on-screen instructions.

List Available Packages

To list all packages that can be installed, run:

./wiener.sh list-packages

Special Cases

If you have any other needs, read help. You find it by running:

./wiener.sh -h

Problems

Can't find a ".desktop" file

First check in ~/.local/share/applications. Desktop files should be somewhere close.

Contributing

If you happen to have a script for your wine application, it shouldn't be too hard to adapt it for wiener. put the script with the name of the program into packages directory and implement two functions. The first one is download_packages(), in it you download any packages to the $TEMPDIR directory. The second function is install_packages(), use it to make a prefix in the $INSTALLDIR directory, install the program itself and if needed, create a .destop file.

I'll be happy to see your pull request!
