A conversion of steam_suite to rust with additional features. Provides a single TUI-based registry for drm-free, wine and steam games on linux, accessed through a rofi launch menu. Simple, fast and lightweight.

You can now install from crates.io. Just run cargo install eidolon and install rofi via your distro's package manager!

You'll need rofi and cargo installed. Run:

git clone https://github.com/nicohman/eidolon.git && cd eidolon

cargo build --release

sudo cp targets/release/eidolon /usr/bin/eidolon

Alternatively, check here for a possibly out of date binary.

It appears someone is maintaining a package on the AUR.

eidolon help for list of commands:

update : updates registry with installed steam games and lutris wine games
 
add [name] [file] : adds game to registry

list : lists all installed games

rm [name] : removes game from registry

run [name] : runs the named game

menu : shows game menu

import [dir] : attempts to import in game directory just from name of location.

imports [dir] : imports in all game directories within given directory

wine_add [name] [.exe] : adds windows exe to be run under wine to the registry

version : displays the current eidolon version and contact info

help : show this screen

Right now, only three config options exist: menu_command, prefix_command and steam_dirs.

menu_command : The command to be run to display the eidolon menu. Will be given an alphabetical list of names through STDIN, and a name is expected back through STDOUT.

steam_dirs : a |-seperated list of steam install directories, with $HOME replacing the home directory.

prefix_command : A command that will be run as a prefix to every game command. Good for optirun or steam runtime launching.

steam_dirs: |$HOME/.local/share/steam/steamapps|

menu_command: | rofi -theme sidebar -mesg 'eidolon game:' -p '> ' -dmenu |

prefix_command: | |
