wow-cli

This is a World of Warcraft addon downloader, installer, uninstaller, and manager.

I don't play WoW anymore, but this thing still works fine.

Installation

$ npm install -g wow-cli

wow-cli is, as the name implies, a CLI tool. The tool will keep track of your installed addons in a .addons.json file in your WoW install folder. The tool works on all platforms. If you're not on Windows or installed WoW in a different place than C:/Program Files (x86)/World Of Warcaft, specify the WOWPATH environment variable to tell the tool where to work.

Implemented:

• Install addons from Curse, TukUI.org, and WoWInterface
