Wiki page on how to use install and use the CLI

[Vedvod]

Hello, I am quite unsure of how this module is meant to be used. I am running on python 3.9.2 on Windows 10. Firstly, I am unsure of how to import the module. import minecraft-mod-manager does not work, which is somewhat expected, but import minecraft_mod_manager does. There is no indication that I could find that this is how to import it, if it even is the way to import it, if it even is meant to be imported. Then, if I try to use one of the example code things, minecraft-mod-manager install mod_name, rather than tell me that there is no mod called mod_name or something, it instead throws a SyntaxError exception. I also tried the example mmm update with the same result. I really can not at all understand how this is meant to be used, and how the commands are meant to work. Perhaps an example file/multi-line code block thing that shows the process for installing a mod called mod_name would clarify this process? It is entirely possible (and likely) that I'm just being a derp and missing an obvious thing here, and if I am, I apologise, but an example code would clarify the process IMO.

Hi Vedvod,

The mod is meant to be used as a command (running from cmd.exe). However, in Windows (and other OSes) you need to add a PATH variable to your current python installation, to be able to run it from anywhere.

Windows

1. Search and open environment variables
   
2. Open
   
3. Select user variable Path and edit it
   
4. Add the Python39\Scipts path. You can see where mine is located in Windows. You probably only have to replace the username senth with your username since you're also using Python 3.9.
   
5. Press okay to save the variables.
6. Open up a new cmd.exe (you have to open up a new one)
7. Try running minecraft-mod-manager --help (mmm or mcman short command hasn't been released yet). Highlighted in yellow.
   

Hope this helps :)

The plan in the future is to make it more accessible, hopefully before Minecraft 1.18
