# hackupdater
A startup script for OSx86 (Hackintosh) user to install kexts or run scripts on update or upgrade
## Installation
1. Download the zip file from [here](https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/hackupdater/releases/latest) and extract it. You'll find three files there
2. Run the `hackupdater_installer`, it'll ask for admin password, give it
3. Done.
*NOTE 1:* Installing kexts requires a reboot to work. It'll reboot automatically (so it'll reboot two times during update procedure—one to update and another to run post update tasks. It's done so that the user don't have to do anything at all).
*NOTE 2:* Backup of your existing kext(s) can be found here: `/Users/Shared/Backups`
## Usage:
1. **Add/remove a kext**
To add a kext,
```bash
sudo hackupdater add kext /path/to/kext.kext
```
To remove a kext,
```bash
sudo hackupdater remove kext kext.kext
```
2. **Add/edit/remove a script**
To add a script,
```bash
sudo hackupdater add script /path/to/script
```
To edit (or add) a script,
```bash
hackupdater edit script_name
```
To remove a script,
```bash
sudo hackupdater remove script script
```
3. **List added kexts/scripts**
To list kexts,
```bash
hackupdater list kext
```
To list scripts,
```bash
hackupdater list script
```
4. **To run hackupdater manually** (it's actually useless since it already took care of everything, still included)
```bash
sudo hackupdater update
```
5. **For help**
```bash
hackupdater help
```
## How it works
hackupdater is created using `PHP CLI`. It always triggers at startup and checks if the OS is updated. If not, it'll remain silent. Otherwise, it'll install the kexts and run the scripts you added (that means, it can be used to run post update scripts too).
## Debug:
* Error log: `/Users/Shared/.hackupdater/logs/error.log`
* Std output log: `/Users/Shared/.hackupdater/logs/out.log`
