No need to manually copy files or go through installation processes, as it does that all for you.\r\n\r\n## Features\r\n\r\n- A store format with a concept similar to the Cydia Repositories\r\n   - The default is [Universal-DB](https://db.universal-team.net)\r\n   - Want to add more? Go to settings, choose \"Select Unistore\", click the + icon and select one from the list, enter a URL, or scan a QR code\r\n- Customization in sorting and display\r\n   - Several sorting keys: \"Title\", \"Author\", and \"Last Updated\"\r\n   - Direction can be Ascending or Descending\r\n   - App display can be shown in either a grid or rows\r\n- Background installation so you can keep using the rest of the app while installing\r\n- Searching and markings to make finding apps easy\r\n- Viewing screenshots and release notes for apps\r\n- Shortcuts for easily updating frequently updated apps when using the Homebrew Launcher\r\n- Translations for users of many languages\r\n   - To contribute to translations, join our [Crowdin project](https://crwd.in/universal-updater)\r\n   - To request a new language, join our [Discord Server](https://universal-team.net/discord) or contact a project manager on Crowdin\r\n\r\n\r\n## Compilation\r\n\r\n### Setting up your environment\r\n\r\nTo build Universal-Updater from source, you will need to install devkitARM and some libraries. Follow devkitPro's [Getting Started](https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started) page to install pacman, then run the following command to install everything you need:\r\n```\r\n(sudo dkp-)pacman -S 3ds-dev 3ds-curl 3ds-bzip2 3ds-libarchive 3ds-liblzma 3ds-libzstd\r\n```\r\n(The `sudo dkp-` may not be needed depending on your OS)\r\n\r\nYou will also need [bannertool](https://github.com/Epicpkmn11/bannertool/releases/latest) and [makerom](https://github.com/profi200/Project_CTR/releases/latest) in your PATH.\r\n\r\n### Cloning the repository\r\n\r\nTo download the source you will need to clone the repository with submodules, this can be done by running:\r\n```\r\ngit clone --recursive https://github.com/Universal-Team/Universal-Updater.git\r\n```\r\n\r\nIf you've already cloned it, you can use the following command to update all of the submodules:\r\n```\r\ngit submodule update --init --recursive\r\n```\r\n\r\n### Building\r\n\r\nOnce you've cloned the repository (with submodules), simply run `make` in the root of the repository.\r\n\r\nIf you're testing in Citra, run `make citra` instead of just `make` to disable the Wi-Fi check. (Note: `source/utils/download.cpp` must be rebuilt for this to take affect, save the file if it's already been built)\r\n\r\n## Screenshots\r\n\r\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eScreenshots\u003c/summary\u003e\r\n\r\n![Entry info](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/entry-info.png) ![Download list](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/download-list.png)\r\n![Queue menu](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/queue-menu.png) ![Search menu](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/search-menu.png)\r\n![Sorting and Filters menu](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/sort-menu.png) ![Settings menu](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/settings-menu.png)\r\n![Marking menu](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/mark-menu.png) ![Viewing a screenshot](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/screenshot.png)\r\n![Viewing release notes](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/release-notes.png) ![The menu in list mode](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/list-style.png)\r\n![Language selection menu](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/language-selection.png) ![UniStore selection menu](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/store-selection.png)\r\n![Recommended UniStores menu](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/recommended-unistores.png) ![=\"Auto-Update settings menu](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/auto-update-settings.png)\r\n![GUI settings menu](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/gui-settings.png) ![Directory settings menu](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/directory-settings.png)\r\n![Directory selection menu](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/directory-selection.png) ![Credits menu](https://db.universal-team.net/assets/images/screenshots/universal-updater/credits.png)\r\n\r\n\u003c/details\u003e\r\n\r\n## Credits\r\n\r\n- [SuperSaiyajinStackZ](https://github.com/SuperSaiyajinStackZ) - Lead developer, reworked quirc to C++\r\n- [Pk11](https://github.com/Epicpkmn11) - Mockup Designer, Website Maintainer\r\n- [NightScript](https://github.com/NightYoshi370) - Concept Creator \u0026 Planner\r\n- [dlbeer](https://github.com/dlbeer) - Original developer of [quirc](https://github.com/dlbeer/quirc)\r\n- [FlagBrew](https://github.com/FlagBrew): Original QR Code Scanner code\r\n- [Icons8](https://icons8.com/): Icon Designer\r\n- [lvandeve](https://github.com/lvandeve): For [LodePNG](https://github.com/lvandeve/lodepng)\r\n- [PabloMK7](https://github.com/PabloMK7): 3D Banner \u0026 Download Code Improvements\r\n- [lividhen](https://github.com/lividhen): 3D Banner\r\n- [Nayuki](https://github.com/nayuki): Original developer of the [QR Code generator library](https://github.com/nayuki/QR-Code-generator)\r\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Funiversal-team%2Funiversal-updater","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Funiversal-team%2Funiversal-updater","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Funiversal-team%2Funiversal-updater/lists"}
