heroic-gogdl

GOG download module for Heroic Games Launcher

Important note

This is not user friendly cli, it's meant to be used by some other application wanting to download game files, manage cloud saves or conveniently launch the game

Contributing

The only python dependency needed at this moment is requests

You can install it using your Linux distribution package manager or using pip

pip install requests

To run a code locally, use bin/gogdl script, which is a convenient python wrapper

gogdl now manages authentication, so it no longer needs --token parameter, although you now need to provide a path to json file where the tokens will be stored Heroic uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/heroic/gog_store/auth.json

Here is the command to pull the source code

git clone https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/heroic-gogdl
cd heroic-gogdl
./bin/gogdl --help
