README

npm npm

wam is a command-line utility to bulk install and update World of Warcraft addons on macOS. It uses Curse.com addons database.

Installation

wam requires Node.js and NPM. Having both set up you can just install it as a global package:

npm install -g wow-am

Installation

Configuration

wam reads a wamfile config file to know where is located your World of Warcraft installation and which addons you want to install/update.

A wamfile is just a JSON file with two keys:

  1. wowPath has a string associated telling wam where is located your World of Warcraft installation. The path should point to the folder containing World of Warcraft executable and Interface folder.
  2. addons is an array of strings. Each item is a Curse identifier of an addon.

This is a sample wamfile shipped with wam:

{
    "wowPath": "/Applications/Battle.net/World of Warcraft",
    "addons": [
        "deadly-boss-mods"
    ]
}

Curse identifiers

The easiest way to know the identifier of an addon is searching it in Curse.com database. Each addon has an information page with a download link and the URL to that page follows this pattern: http://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/<curse-identifier>.

For instance, Deadly Boss Mods's identifier is deadly-boss-mods.
