Installation - NGnius/PowerTools GitHub Wiki
Decky
Regular Installation
Ideally, the latest PowerTools release can be installed from https://beta.deckbrew.xyz/ after installing PluginLoader.
- If you haven't yet, install Decky Loader by following their steps: https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader#installation
- In gaming mode's Quick Access Menu, you should see a new option for plugins (a cord plug). In that menu, click on the market (top right).
- Find & install PowerTools from the list. A pop up should appear to confirm you'd like to install it (sometimes it takes a few tries for the pop up to appear).
- Wait for PowerTools to download and appear.
Regular Uninstall
- In gaming mode's Quick Access Menu plugin tab click on the cog (top left).
- Go to Plugins, and click the trash can beside PowerTools
Manual Installation
If you are having trouble with getting that to work, you can install the latest version from GitHub manually.
- Do steps 1 & 2 from Regular Installation
- In gaming mode's Quick Access Menu, you should see a new option for plugins (a cord plug). In that menu, click on the cog (top left).
- Copy the link from the latest release archive into the URL box (e.g. for v0.7.0: https://github.com/NGnius/PowerTools/releases/download/v0.7.0/PowerTools-v0.7.0.tar.gz).
- Wait for PowerTools to download and appear.
Manual Uninstall
I'm sorry to see you go, but all good things must end. This is quite simple:
In a terminal, run sudo rm -rf ~/homebrew/plugins/PowerTools
. Be careful to type that exactly, otherwise you may delete something else that you didn't mean to.
Optionally, remove saved PowerTools settings and other data by running sudo rm -rf ~/.config/powertools
. Once again, be careful to type that exactly.
