This contains both a package manager and packages for ComputerCraft.
Each package is a directory, where the name of the directory is the package
name. Package directories contain files which are associated with that package.
All package directories are located within the pkgs directory at the root of
this repository.
Using the below tree as an example:
pkgs
└─net
├─protocol.lua
└─server.lua
There is a package named net that contains a protocol.lua and server.lua
file. These can later be referred to when making HTTP requests or using the
mngr tool.
This provides a simple way for external applications to query about packages and
download their files. To run the server, use the command deno task serve,
which requires Deno to be installed and available. It will then begin
listening for HTTP requests at http://localhost:3000/.
You can request data from the server using the folloing HTTP requests:
GET /— Responds with newline-separated package names.GET /package— Responds with newline-separated package files.GET /package/file— Responds with the content of the package file.GET /package/file/deps— Responds with newline-separated package file dependency package names.
These may respond with a 404 if the package or file does not exist.
Mngr is a tool for ComputerCraft computers to manage packages from the package server. To install mngr, follow the steps below on a ComputerCraft computer:
- Set the
mngr.urlsetting to the package server URL —set mngr.url http://localhost:3000. - Download and run the mngr install file via HTTP —
wget run http://localhost:3000/mngr/install.lua. - Run mngr to see the available commands —
mngr.
