Minetest Package Manager [WIP]

[rubenwardy]

Minetest Package Manager (mtpm) is a CLI tool and a Lua library to assist with the installation of Mods, Modpacks and Subgames. MTPM is based (loosely) on the existing modmanager in Minetest and the aim is for it to replace it as a more robust and flexible piece of code.

Install

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install lua5.1 luarocks libzzip-dev
$ sudo luarocks install luazip
$ sudo luarocks install luafilesystem
$ sudo luarocks install luajson
# Alternatively you could use sudo luarocks install

$ git clone https://github.com/rubenwardy/mtpm/
$ cd mtpm

# You could skip this and use "./mtpm.lua" instead of "mtpm"
$ sudo make install

# You can skip this line if minetest is in ~/.minetest/
$ mtpm set minetest_root /path/to/minetest/


Usage

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

List of supported package repositories

• Minetest-Bower (based on MTPM Lists, but more accurate)
• MTPM Lists
• Krock's Mod Search
• Direct Github downloads

To Do

• Test windows support
• uninstall

I'll have to pit this on my server! Can this keep mods up to date as well?

I get the following error:

maybe try installing with sudo luarocks install instead of luarocks install --local?

[Evergreen]

I tried installing luazip globally with sudo luarocks install, but it gives me a compilation error. This happens with both lua 5.3 and lua 5.2. Here is that error:

I've only ever used Lua 5.1, as that's what Minetest uses. This is turning into a PITA, maybe I'll just full back to os.execute and unzip.

Ah, it does work with lua 5.1. Darn you arch linux with your bleeding edge software! (just kidding, I like having bleeding edge software)

maybe try installing with sudo luarocks install instead of luarocks install --local?

I didn't use -local.....oh well, back to manually updating mods!

[rubenwardy]

you definitely installed libzzip-dev?

[addi]

Can you please give detailed instructions how to install and integrate this into minetest?
I tried to copy it into 'minetest\builtin\mainmenu' , but it does not work. Also could you provide a screenshot?

[rubenwardy]

It doesn't work in Minetest yet, it an eventual aim which is incorporated in its design.

[jogag]

It doesn't work in Minetest yet, it an eventual aim which is incorporated in its design.

Minetest has already a mod store, but it's based on MMDB, which is dead. So we need to upgrade it.

I know, this code is based partially on the existing mod store (the back end, at least).
