Linux install instructions

[buhund]

This beautiful updater works like a charm for Linux too!<3 If interested, here's a how-to for Linux (much the same as for macOS):

Edit: Fixed some formatting.

Linux installation

1. Install Python 3 for Linux, if not already installed*
2. Download and extract wow-addon-updater-master.zip to where you want to run it from
3. Navigate to your /wow-addon-updater folder
4. Edit config.ini
5. Create and edit in.txt
   • Use touch in.txt command, or your preferred text editor
6. Open terminal and use cd to navigate to /wow-addon-updater folder
   • E.g. default cd ~/Downloads/wow-addon-updater-master
7. Run python3 WoWAddonUpdater.py

Standard location for add-ons

Installed with PlayOnLinux: /home/USERNAME/PlayOnLinux's virtual drives/battle.net/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns/
