This script installs the latest GE-Proton, installs NonSteamLaunchers under one unique Proton prefix folder in your compatdata folder path called "NonSteamLaunchers" and adds them to your Steam Library. It will also add the games automatically on every steam restart.
- MicroSD Support 💾 This script supports moving the entire prefix to a microSD. The script will install launchers and games to your SD card, and the launchers in Steam will point to the SD card installation. This allows you to save internal storage space on your Steam Deck!
"NSLGameScanner.service" is also live when you use this script and continues after the script is closed and even works after your Steam Deck has restarted. This works in the background as a service file to automatically add your games to your library on every Steam restart. Currently adds:
* Go to desktop mode, right click the download button above and save the .desktop file to your Steam Deck desktop.
* Go to your desktop, click the NonSteamLaunchers icon, it will download and run the latest NonSteamLaunchers.sh from this repository and run it.
* You will simply have to choose which launcher to install and let the script handle the rest. 💻 No files are left in your "Downloads" they are deleted after installation.
* After running the script, launch Steam on your Steam Deck. You'll find the new launchers in your library under the non-steam tab. Click a launcher to see your installed games from that store, and launch them directly from Steam! If you have downloaded a game inside of your launcher, restart your deck or steam adn the NSLGameScanner.service should add it to your library. Even in gamemode 🥳

Install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/). Once installed, a clean dev environment with a Docker container [native to VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/create-dev-container#_dockerfile) is spun up automatically.
* [Command palette](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface#_command-palette) (⇧⌘P) > Dev Containers: Reopen in Container
* F5 for debug
* May need to select interpreter (e.g., `/opt/venv/bin/python`) first
If VSCode isn't present or only the python portion (cf. `__init__.py`) is being worked on, it's possible to just run a Docker container on its own. The container installs the correct version of python and any dependencies (e.g., ipython, rich) in `requirements.txt`.
```bash
# navigate to directory with Dockerfile
cd .devcontainer/
# build image
docker build -t nonsteamlaunchers .
# run container
docker run -it --rm --name=mynonsteamlaunchers --workdir=/app -v $(pwd):/app nonsteamlaunchers bash
# exit container
exit
```
### Python virtual environment
Useful for the python module(s), but extra compared to the [dev container](#dev-container) portion that covers the core shell script.
* Trigger pre-commit hooks automatically on `git commit`
```bash
git add .
git commit -m "commit message"
```
### Formatting
> **TL;DR**: The [Ruff formatter](https://astral.sh/blog/the-ruff-formatter) is an extremely fast Python formatter, written in Rust. It’s over 30x faster than Black and 100x faster than YAPF, formatting large-scale Python projects in milliseconds — all while achieving >99.9% Black compatibility.
* While it runs automatically on commits, it can also be run manually
`.shellcheckrc` excludes various [bash language rules](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/Ignore#ignoring-one-or-more-types-of-errors-forever). Useful to control noise vs. legitimate warnings/errors when using the shellcheck extension.
