Command line

The launcher bundles the Tempest CLI and makes it available in your terminal as tempest.

Installing the command

• Windows and Linux: set up automatically the first time the launcher runs. If the command is not found, reinstall it from Settings → Advanced → Terminal command and open a new terminal.
• macOS: install it from Settings → Advanced → Terminal command. It may ask for administrator permission to place the command in /usr/local/bin.

The command points at the copy bundled with the launcher, so it stays up to date with the app and its mod commands always match what the launcher does.

Commands

tempest mod list <game folder>          installed mods
tempest mod install <game folder> x     install a .tempest file or repository id
tempest mod remove <game folder> <name> remove a mod
tempest mod enable/disable ...          toggle a mod
tempest mod search <words>              search the repository

Run tempest --help and tempest mod --help for the full reference.
