Installation

You will need an up-to-date version of rust installed. I personally prefer using rustup:

$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Will install rustup and begin the installation process. Use the default options and when it is done clone the git repository wherever you would like:

https://github.com/Brogramming-Inc/Minebrew.git

next navigate into the Minebrew directory and and run the following command:

$ cd Minebrew
$ cargo install --path minebrew-bin

This will build Minebrew from source and place a binary in your .cargo/bin folder which on unix systems is usually

$HOME/.cargo/bin/mbrew

and on Windows

C:\Users\USERNAME\.cargo\bin\mbrew.exe

From there you can do whatever you'd like with the binary.

NOTEs:

• Minebrew assumes you have a .minecraft folder so please be sure to have Minecraft installed
• the reqwest library requires libssl-dev to be installed, this is the case on most systems but if you get an error about openssl make sure to install this package

Usage

USAGE:
    mbrew [OPTIONS] <SUBCOMMAND>

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help               Print help information
    -m, --mc-dir <MC_DIR>    path to ".minecraft"
    -t, --target <TARGET>    override the default Minecraft version

The only subcommand available at the moment is install but more are on the way. To download sodium and the fabric api run the following:

mbrew install fabric-api sodium

and Minebrew will find the mods and download them to your mods folder.
