Prerequisites and installation

Forever Winter Mods requires Node.js 20 or newer and a local installation of The Forever Winter. The CLI runs in a terminal and needs read and write access to the target mods directory.

Run without installing

The package can be downloaded and run for one command with Yarn:

yarn dlx @sabinmarcu/foreverwinter

This opens the mod manager after the CLI finds a mods directory or you provide one. To use a directory that automatic detection cannot find, pass its full path:

yarn dlx @sabinmarcu/foreverwinter --path "/path/to/~mods"

The supplied path must already exist and be a directory. The CLI does not create a missing mods directory.

Install the command locally

To make fw-mods available as a project command, add the package to a Node.js project:

yarn add --dev @sabinmarcu/foreverwinter

Then run it through Yarn:

yarn fw-mods

Use --path whenever the game is installed outside the locations searched by automatic detection.
