{{#seo: |title=Vita Homebrew PC Tools (PC Utilities) - GameBrew |title_mode=append |image=vitacompanioncli2.png |image_alt=vitacompanion Command Line Interface }} A command line interface that utilizes [[Vitacompanion Plugin|vitacompanion]] by devnoname120. It allows you to easily communicate with the vita via predefined commands. This means that you can send and launch and close apps on your Vita without touching it, which makes developing homebrews and plugins for the Vita tremendously easier. ==Installation== Vitacompanion: *This extension requires [[Vitacompanion Plugin|vitacompanion]] to be installed and running on your Vita. *Follow the [[Vitacompanion_Plugin#Installation|instructions]] to install it. This extension: *Make sure you have [https://nodejs.org/ nodejs] installed and correctly configure on your machine. Install using npm install -g vitacompanion-cli or if you need permission sudo npm install -g vitacompanion-cli ==User guide== ===Connecting for the first time=== Connect to the vita using this command vita ip x.x.x.x You will be prompted to enter the IP address in x.x.x.x format ex -> 128.23.21.1. It will save this value so you don't have to call 'vita ip' everytime. To change it call 'vita ip' again. Then to see a full list of commands type 'vita -h' or 'vita -help'. <pre> vita -h Usage: vita [options] [command] A Command Line Interface for communicating with the Vita via devnonam120 vitacompanion library Options: -v, --version output the version number -h, --help output usage information Commands: ip <ip_addr> Set Device IP Address on Turn Screen On off Turn Screen Off reboot|r Reboot Device launch|l <TITLE_ID> Launch Application by ID kill|k Kill all Running Applications copy|cp <target> <dir> Copy Local File to Device payload|p Send and Run Payload stay|s Toggle Keep Screen On Mode debug|d Toggle Debug Mode </pre> ===Examples=== ====Send File==== vita cp myapp.vpk ux0:/downloads ====Send Payload==== vita p This will send the new eboot.bin to your device, wake it up, close all other applications, and finally launch the new version. Make sure you are in your project's directory. Either have eboot.bin and param.sfo files in the directory or a vpk file, it doesn't matter if it is in a subdirectory like 'src' because all subdirectories will be scanned. ====Debug Mode==== vita d This will send an initial payload similar to 'vita payload' command. It will then listen for changes made to the eboot.bin file and then launch your application after a change occurs. Simply run make and the new version should be installed and launched on the device. Make sure you are in your project's directory. Either have eboot.bin and param.sfo files in the directory or a vpk file, it doesn't matter if it is in a subdirectory like 'src' because all subdirectories will be scanned. This will block your current terminal so you will need to open another to continue to do work. ====Keep Vita Awake==== vita s This will intermittenly send a command to keep your device screen on. In a future update it will be able to keep your device awake without the screen on. This will block your current terminal so you will need to open another to continue to do work. ==Credits== Massive thanks to [https://github.com/devnoname120 devnoname120] for Vita Companion. Additional thanks to [https://github.com/Rinnegatamante Rinnegatamante] for his php implementation of a param.sfo parser. == External links == * GitHub - https://github.com/imcquee/vitacompanion-cli
