Overview
Install the eggox command line, log in, and take your games to your own machine.
The eggox command line brings a game to your machine as files, checks them, pushes them back and publishes. It needs node 18 or newer and nothing else.
Installing
With npm:
npm install -g @eggox/cli
Without npm, from the site:
curl -fsSL https://eggox.net/cli/install.sh | sh
The installer puts the CLI in ~/.eggox and a launcher at ~/.local/bin/eggox. Both ways give you the same file; the source is github.com/Eggvelop-Aps/eggox-cli.
Checking the version
eggox --help
The first line is the version.
Updating
Installed with npm:
npm install -g @eggox/cli@latest
Installed with the installer:
eggox update
Logging in
eggox login
A browser opens on Eggox and asks you to let the command line in. The login is kept in ~/.config/eggox/credentials.json and renews itself. Every other command needs it: nothing on the API answers without a valid login, and each account is limited to 120 requests a minute.
Without a browser
On a machine with no browser (a server, CI, an agent's sandbox), log in elsewhere and set EGGOX_TOKEN to the access token from your credentials file. A token lasts a day.
EGGOX_TOKEN=... eggox push
EGGOX_SERVER or --server picks a server other than eggox.net, for example a staging one.
Options every command takes
| option | does |
|---|---|
--server URL | which Eggox to talk to (default: the one you logged in to last) |
--json | machine-readable output |
--help, -h | the command list |
