WoW 3.3.5a Addon Installer - install & update addons from the command line

[Jamesisonfire]

I've put together a Python tool for installing and updating WoW 3.3.5a addons. It pulls from NoM0Re's addon repository by default but can work with any GitHub-hosted addon repo.

GitHub: github.com/jamesisonfire21-glitch/WoW-3.3.5a-Addon-Installer

Features:

• Interactive checkbox picker — arrow keys to browse, Space to tick, Enter to install
• 100+ addons from NoM0Re's catalogue included out of the box
• Update checker — compares your installed version against the latest GitHub commit and shows what's out of date
• Custom repo support — paste any GitHub addon repo URL and it will fetch the addon list from the README automatically
• Smart extraction — handles all GitHub zip layouts correctly, strips -main/-master suffixes from folder names
• Native folder picker on first launch — no need to type your AddOns path
• Fix existing installs — scans your AddOns folder and renames any badly-named folders to their correct names

Requirements:

• Python 3.8+ (python.org)
• Windows: also run pip install windows-curses after installing Python

How to use:

1. Install Python if you don't have it (tick "Add to PATH" during setup)
2. Download wow_addon_installer.py from the GitHub link above
3. Open a command prompt in the same folder and run python wow_addon_installer.py
4. A folder picker will open on first launch — select your InterfaceAddOns folder
5. Pick option 1 to install or option 2 to check for updates

Happy to answer any questions.
