Tutorial for lazy people (Programm will start on startup) ONLY WINDOWS

[Florian-Mahlberg]

Hi, I know, we are all lazy so, here is a tutorial for all WINDOWS 10 Users, to start this programm on startup.

First install like the Documentations says. I downloaded it in D:\EpicGamesClaimer so please change all directorys!

We need to edit the config.json file a bit, so we have no terminal on our screen.

The loop line should be "loop": false and not "loop": true.

Press WIN + R and a window will open. Enter taskschd.msc and press enter.

In the bar at the top select Create Task.

Name it whatever you want and if you want to add a description. Tap on Change User or Group... and enter System in the big box. And press OK

• This runs the program by the system, so nothing could go wrong. If you are sure you don't want to to this and you have Admin rights, you don't need it.

Check the Box Run with highest privileges

• Same thing here like the step before.

Check, if you have it like this:

Go to triggers and create a new: Change the dropdown Begin the task: to At log on Activate Stop task if it runs longer than: and enter the time of 30 minutes

Compate it with the image to be sure, you dont forget anything:

Save with OK

Now we are going to the Actions tab and click on New..

The Action should be Start a program by default.

In the Box Program/script: we enter the location of the npm command. By default it is "C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd"

As arguments we use --prefix <path> run start Change to the location where you copied your files!!

We are checking again:

And closing this window by pressing OK.

Now just checking conditions for a sec:

And edit in the settings tab a few things:

And if everything is correct (by me and by you), we are now the laziest people I have ever seen. I hope I could help you out a bit.

Some other stuff:

If something is gone wrong, just comment, I should answer in a couple of days.

If someone wants me to do a UNIX (Linux / MacOS tutorial please put it in the comments too ;) )

The wiki is a better place for this. I linked to a section about running it as service via NSSM. I like your Windows Scheduler version too. Maybe put both methods in a separate page about running it as a service. Please, try to keep it nice and clean, use markdown.

You go to line 109 and change the line Logger.info(Waiting ${delay} minutes); to process.exit(0);

You should simply change the loop option in the config to false...

And if you, Revadike, are seeing this, it would be grat if you change the README.md a bit so everyone can see there is a option to run this on the start of the pc.

Again wiki. The wiki is also linked in README.md.

Well happy to hear it comes to the wiki. Sorry for the markdown ^^ and yes, you could just change the loop.
