Elder Scrolls Online Commadline Addon Manager

Elder Scrolls Online addon manager and a Tamriel Trade Centre price table updater.

MIT License

It is recommended that you back up your ESO live profile before using eso-banana in case you want to revert back.

On Windows, press Windows Key + e to open a file explorer and enter the following path in the address bar:

%HOME%\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\

or on Windows 11

Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\

Make a copy of the live folder and rename it to something meaningful like old or backup.

Usage

Follow the installation instructions for your platform:

On first run, the addons.text file will be created in your ESO live directory. It will look similar to the following:

https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info7-LibAddonMenu.html
https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1245-TamrielTradeCentre.html
https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1146-LibCustomMenu.html

Add the ESOUI url for each additional addon you wish to keep updated. Make sure to include the www. indicator that ESOUI requires for some stupid reason.

Windows Installation

Install the latest Python 3 using the installer provided by python.org. When the python installer asks, add python to PATH.

Open Windows Terminal or any windows command prompt and navigate to this project. Use the Python package manager PIP to install eso-banana.

cd .\banana\
pip install .

Once the project is installed to python's packages you may invoke the addon script with the following command:

eso-banana-script.exe

To schedule a periodic background run of eso-banana, open Powershell as a user and enter the following commands.

$Command = (Get-Command "eso-banana-script.exe").Source
$Action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute $Command -Argument "--log"
$Trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Daily -At 11am
$Settings = New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet -RunOnlyIfNetworkAvailable -StartWhenAvailable -RunOnlyIfIdle
Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "eso-banana" -Action $Action -Trigger $Trigger -Settings $Settings -Description "Elder Scrolls Online addon manager and a Tamriel Trade Centre price table updater."

To check to make sure the task is registered correctly, enter Get-ScheduledTask and check that the first entry looks similar:

TaskPath                                TaskName                          State
--------                                --------                          -----
\                                       eso-banana                        Ready
