## Why Rare?

- Runs natively, and supports most of the major platforms
- Gets out of your way when you don't need it, allowing you to enjoy your games
- Tries to be as lightweight as we can make it while still offering a feature-full experience
- Integrates seamlessly with legendary as both projects are developed in Python
- Packages, packages everywhere

## Issues

If you run into any issues, please report it by creating an issue on GitHub or on Discord: https://discord.gg/YvmABK9YSk

## Installation

### Linux

#### Flatpak

Rare is available as a flatpak. See [rare](https://flathub.org/apps/details/io.github.dummerle.rare).

Install it via:

`flatpak install flathub io.github.dummerle.rare`

Run it via:

`flatpak run io.github.dummerle.rare`

#### Arch based

There are some AUR packages available:

- [rare](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rare) - for stable releases
- [rare-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rare-git) - for the latest features, which are not in a stable release

#### Debian based

- DUR package: [rare](https://mpr.hunterwittenborn.com/packages/rare)
- .deb file in [releases page](https://github.com/Dummerle/Rare/releases)

**Note**:

- pypresence is an optional package. You can install it
  from [DUR](https://mpr.hunterwittenborn.com/packages/python3-pypresence) or with pip.
- Do not wonder if some icons look strange, because the official python3-qtawesome package is too old. Many icons were
  replaced.


### macOS

There is a .dmg file available in [releases page](https://github.com/Dummerle/Rare/releases).

**Note**: When you launch it, you will see an error, that the package is from an unknown source. You have to enable it
manually in `Settings -> Security and Privacy`. Otherwise, Gatekeeper will block Rare from running.

You can also use `pip`.

### Windows

- There is a small beta tool for Windows: [Rare Updater](https://github.com/Dummerle/RareUpdater), which installs and updates rare with a single click

- Rare is available as a [Chocolatey package](https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/rare) on Windows.
You can install rare with the following one-liner:

    `choco install rare`

### Packages

In [releases page](https://github.com/Dummerle/Rare/releases), AppImages are available for Linux, a .msi file for windows and a .dmg
file for macOS.

### Latest packages

In the [actions](https://github.com/Dummerle/Rare/actions) tab you can find packages for the latest commits.

**Note**: They might be unstable.

### Installation via pip (platform independent)

Execute `pip install Rare` for all users, or `pip install Rare --user` for the current user only.

Linux and Mac: execute `rare` in your terminal.

Windows: execute `pythonw -m rare` in cmd

It is possible to create a desktop link, or a start menu link. Execute the command above with `--desktop-shortcut`
or `--startmenu-shortcut` option, alternatively you can create them in the settings.

**Note about $PATH**:

On Linux:

`/home/user/.local/bin` must be in your PATH.

On Windows:

`PythonInstallationDirectory\Scripts` must be in your PATH.

On Mac:

`/Users/user/Library/Python/3.x/bin` must be in your PATH.


### Run from source

1. Clone the repo: `git clone https://github.com/Dummerle/Rare
2. Change your working directory to the project folder: `cd Rare`
3. Run `pip install -r requirements.txt` to install all required dependencies.
   If you want to be able to use the automatic login, run `pip install -r optional_requirements.txt`
   If you are on Arch you can
   run `sudo pacman --needed -S python-wheel python-setuptools python-pyqt5 python-qtawesome python-requests python-psutil`
4. Run `python3 -m rare`

## Contributing

There are several options to contribute.

- If you know Python and PyQt, you can implement new features (Some ideas are in the projects tab).
- You can translate the application in your language: Check our [transifex](https://www.transifex.com/rare-1/rare) page
  for that.

More information is available in CONTRIBUTING.md.
