This is an Electron application that handles your mods. When an update is available, this will automatically ask you to install it. This means more time to play!

MacOS installation procedure
- Open the terminal
- Type this command: xcode-select --install
- Accept the popup
- Install the app
- Start the app
Features:
- Easy search with typo tolerance
- Search across multiple mods providers

How to use it:
- Download the Setup
- Install the application
- Start the application
- Browse for mods
- Install mods

How does it works:
- All mods are indexed into a database that records mods versions
- When you install mods using this app, it will remember the mod's version
- When you start the app, it will check for updates using the database and your mods installed
- If an update is found:
- The app will ask you to validate the update
- The app will remove previous installed files (it preserves configuration files if any)
- The app will install the new files
- Your mod has been updated
Planned features:
- Add more providers
- Export / import mods installed (it will be soooo coool to give your config to somebody else)
