💖 arx-install-data 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the General Commands Manual, and it's all about arx-install-data — the lil setup babe that gets your Arx Fatalis game data sorted so you can actually play. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

arx-install-data — the install script for Arx Fatalis game data, she's literally the whole moment 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

arx-install-data [--cli|--gui] [sourcefile]

arx-install-data --help

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

arx-install-data is a tool that extracts and installs Arx Fatalis data files from all kinds of sources, no cap — we're talking GOG.com Setup files, Demo downloads, CDROMs, and even existing installs like the ones you already have on Steam. and why do we care?? because this game data is required to run arx(6). periodt. 💅

By default she gives you an interactive interface — either command-line or graphical, depending on the context, she reads the room — and it'll ask you for all the required arguments and automatically download patch files as needed. so you just sit there and vibe while she handles it 🫶

alternatively?? you can just hand her a source file or directory to install from as the first non-option argument. lowkey iconic.

and she's got way more going on than just that — there's a batch mode and fine control over the programs used to extract archives. so if you're a control freak (affectionate), she's got you. 👑

run --help to see all the available options and the required dependencies, bestie, don't skip it 🙈
