ViperSH is a launcher, updater and mod manager for Northstar, and not much more than that. It is similar to Viper (also made by me) however it is written in Bourne Shell, meaning it's purely CLI based, and mostly Linux only.
If you don't want to clone the repo, or you want a stable version, head over to the releases page and download the latest executable, put it in your $PATH
While ViperSH is not at all finished you can of course still download it, but currently with no documentation and with very little options. This'll be added in the future when relevant.
$ git clone https://github.com/0neGal/viper-sh
$ cd viper-sh
$ make installTo uninstall simply do make uninstall instead.
Because I wanted to, and also because I wanted an alternative for myself, compared to running a program that uses 200mb of RAM just to launch or update Northstar, but overall it's mostly because I was bored and wanted to. The original Viper project is still being worked on, and this isn't me abandoning that project, this is purely a side-project.
If you've used Viper before, it'll simply use the game path set by that, but you can also just set it with --setpath=<path>, if you've not used it before, you'll have to run that. You can also just set the $GAMEPATH variable, i.e GAMEPATH="<path>" viper-sh ...
