|
|
|
## Step 1 — Install Python
|
|
|
|
Verify Python is installed:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 --version
|
|
# Should show: Python 3.9.x or newer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If not installed, download from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Step 2 — Install Modpack Version Checker
|
|
|
|
### Option A: pip (recommended)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install modpack-version-checker
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Option B: Install with scheduler support
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install "modpack-version-checker[scheduler]"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This adds APScheduler for the `modpack-checker schedule` background daemon command.
|
|
|
|
### Option C: Install from source
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://git.firefrostgaming.com/firefrost/firefrost-services.git
|
|
cd firefrost-services/services/modpack-version-checker
|
|
pip install -e ".[scheduler]"
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Step 3 — Get a CurseForge API Key (free)
|
|
|
|
1. Go to [console.curseforge.com](https://console.curseforge.com)
|
|
2. Log in or create a free account
|
|
3. Click **Create API Key**
|
|
4. Copy the key
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Step 4 — Configure
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
modpack-checker config set-key YOUR_API_KEY_HERE
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The key is stored in `~/.config/modpack-checker/config.json`.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Step 5 (Optional) — Set Up Discord Notifications
|
|
|
|
1. In your Discord server, go to **Channel Settings → Integrations → Webhooks**
|
|
2. Click **New Webhook** and copy the URL
|
|
3. Run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
modpack-checker config set-webhook https://discord.com/api/webhooks/YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A test message will be sent to confirm it works.

|
|
|
|
## Step 6 — Add Your First Modpack
|
|
|
|
Find your modpack's CurseForge project ID:
|
|
Visit the modpack page on CurseForge and look for the **Project ID** number in the right sidebar (e.g. `238222` for All The Mods 9).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
modpack-checker add 238222 # All The Mods 9
|
|
modpack-checker add 361392 # RLCraft
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Step 7 — Check for Updates
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
modpack-checker check
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Background Scheduler (Optional)
|
|
|
|
Run continuous checks automatically:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check every 6 hours (default)
|
|
modpack-checker schedule
|
|
|
|
# Check every 12 hours
|
|
modpack-checker schedule --hours 12
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To run as a Linux systemd service, create `/etc/systemd/system/modpack-checker.service`:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
[Unit]
|
|
Description=Modpack Version Checker
|
|
After=network.target
|
|
|
|
[Service]
|
|
Type=simple
|
|
User=YOUR_USERNAME
|
|
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/modpack-checker schedule --hours 6
|
|
Restart=on-failure
|
|
|
|
[Install]
|
|
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo systemctl enable --now modpack-checker
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Uninstall
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip uninstall modpack-version-checker
|
|
|
|
# Remove config and database (optional)
|
|
rm -rf ~/.config/modpack-checker/
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
**`modpack-checker: command not found`**
|
|
- Make sure pip's script directory is in your PATH
|
|
- Try: `python3 -m modpack_checker.cli`
|
|
|
|
**`Invalid API key`**
|
|
- Double-check the key at [console.curseforge.com](https://console.curseforge.com)
|
|
- Ensure there are no extra spaces when setting it
|
|
|
|
**`Connection failed`**
|
|
- Check your internet connection
|
|
- CurseForge API may be temporarily down; try again in a few minutes
|
|
|
|
**`Modpack shows Unknown`**
|
|
- Verify the project ID is correct by checking the CurseForge page
|
|
- Some older modpacks have no files listed via the API
