A desktop GUI for the Homebrew Appstore written in Python. It uses the SwitchBru/4TU team's site as a backend for image and package downloads. One of the main goals of this app is to provide a homebrew management tool that doesn't require the Switch to access the internet. Especially useful for people who always keep their switch in airplane mode. ==Features== *Dynamic Search. *Categories. *Downloading directly from the switchbru/4tu site. *Tracking with the appstore. *Opening project pages. *Threaded operations mean the app no longer becomes unresponsive with big downloads. *Self-updater. *Buttons load dynamically so only what you need to see loads, this reduces startup time to only a few seconds. *Sort by title or author name. ==User guide== ===How to run=== '''Windows:''' *Extract unofficial-appstore.zip. *Install [https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-373/ Python] **Make sure to keep the tcl/tk checkbox ticked if doing a custom installation. **You must restart your PC after installing python for the first time. *Open a command prompt, type: <code>pip install Pillow</code>. **This installs a required image library [https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/2.2.1/ Pillow]. *To run the app: double-click start_appstore.bat. '''Macintosh:''' *Extract unofficial-appstore.zip. *Mac users may already have a compatible version of python installed, try double-clicking unofficial-appstore.py. *If the file opens in a text reader, close the reader and right-click the file and open it with pylauncher. *If this still doesn't work, install [https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-373/ Python]. *To run the app: double-click unofficial-appstore.py. '''Linux:''' *Extract unofficial-appstore.zip. *Navigate to the directory in a terminal. *Type: <code>python3 unofficial-appstore.py</code> *If you are missing dependencies do the following: <code>sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-tk python3-pil python3-pil.imagetk</code> *To run the app: <code>python3 unofficial-appstore.py</code> ===How to use=== *Connect your SD card to your computer. *Start the app. *Click the "Select SD root" button. *A file dialog should appear, select the root of your SD card. *Select an app you'd like to see more about. *Click install to have the app properly installed on to the SD card. *When you're done, unmount your SD card, put it in your homebrewed Nintendo Switch, and reboot. ===Troubleshooting=== If you are getting errors about tkinter or pillow look above at the setup instructions for your OS. Image download errors are to be expected, please do not report them. ==Known issues== Linux - the highlighted text for the selected category is black in the listbox instead of white. ==Credits== *vgmoose, pwscind, and the 4TU team. *sudotoph, guts for testing. == External links == * GitHub - https://github.com/LyfeOnEdge/unofficial-appstore
