CLI Mode

The manager can run deploy and restore without having to open the application. The use for this is up to you but one use is the ability to add multiple profiles as steam shortcuts. Meaning we can launch different mod lists for a game without having to open the manager

The quickest way to get the command to deploy the profile and launch the game is to go into the profile settings and pressing steam cmd. Then create an empty none steam game and use this as the launch argument, It will silently deploy the profile and launch the game

You can also use the following commands in a terminal

  • /path/to/AmethystModManager.AppImage deploy <game> <profile>

<game> Can either be the name of the game (in quotes), eg. "Skyrim Special Edition"

<game> Can be our own internal game ID eg. Skyrim_se

<game> Can also be the steam app id eg. 489830

<profile> is the name of the profile you want to deploy. It will always restore any previously deployed profile. This Is also case sensitive.

So to launch Skyrim Se with the default profile we'd do /path/to/AmethystModManager.AppImage deploy 489830 default

and to add it as a steam shortcut, We'd add a non steam game with the following command

  • /path/to/AmethystModManager.AppImage deploy 489830 default && steam steam://rungameid/489830

Once deploy has finished, The game will launch. We can add another shortcut and use a different profile to launch that one instead
