Steam Deck users:
python -m ensurepip --user --break-system-packages --upgrade
python -m pip install --user --break-system-packages --upgrade pipEveryone:
echo 'PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"
git clone https://github.com/cyberrumor/ammo
cd ammo
pip3 install --user --break-system-packages -r requirements.txt
pip3 install --user --break-system-packages .You can now execute ammo with the terminal command ammo.
Check the releases page for possible manual migration steps. Releases are only published on breaking changes, and are there for the benefit of people who don't have time to address those changes. In general, you should be using the most recent version of the main branch.
cd /path/to/ammo/clone/dir
git pull
pip3 install --user --break-system-packages --force-reinstall .ammo - Launch the interactive shell. Select a game via index if prompted.

| refresh | Abandon pending changes | |
| rename | (mod|download) \ |
Names may contain alphanumerics and underscores |
| sort | Arrange plugins by mod order |
Note that the {de}activate (mod|plugin) command supports all in place of <index>.
This will activate or deactivate all mods or plugins that are visible. Combine this
with the find command to quickly organize groups of components with related names.
The find command accepts a special fomods argument that will filter by fomods.
The find command allows you to locate plugins owned by a particular mod, or mods
that have a particular plugin. It also lets you find mods / plugins / downloads via
keyword. This is an additive filter, so more words equals more matches.
You can easily return to vanilla like this:
deactivate mod all
commitIf you don't know how many components are in your list and you want to move a
component to the bottom, you can throw in an arbitrarily large number as the
<to index> for the move command, and it will be moved to the last position.
This only works for the move command.
If you have several downloads and you want to install all of them at once, simply
install all.
If you would like to contribute, please fork the repository, make changes on your fork, then open a PR. Below are some key guidelines to follow for code contributions, but keep in mind the intended scope of AMMO; it is NOT a download manager or API client and it does NOT launch programs.
You can run tests from the base directory of the repo with pytest test.
It may be useful in your iterations to automate UI input before you've written tests. I find the easiest way to do this is with this sort of strategy:
(echo "command1 arg1"; echo "command2 arg1") | ammoIf you need to recreate a complex set of initial steps then supply manual input, you can use input redirection:
(echo "instruction1"; echo "instruction2"; cat <&0) | ammoAMMO works via creating symlinks in your game directory pointing to your mod files.
