Repository Archived

This repository has been archived. It means that I won't continue to update nor fix bugs. It has been really usefull back in time when Unity didn't had a way to handle packages for creating easily libraries for our games.

For more informations around Unity's package manager, the documentation is available here.

Unity3D dependencies management

./manageDependencies.sh is a simple Nuget wrapper script wrote in shell that allow to retrieve dependencies without using Visual Studio.

It was designed by the Seabirds Games team in order to facilitate dependencies management.

Requirements

• Nuget v3.4.3+ ;
• Sonatype Nexus server (or any other repository manager that support Nugets packages).

Notes:

• For Windows, you will need the Git bash emulated terminal to launch the script ;
  • The script was tested with Git for Windows 2.5.0.windows.1.
• For Mac OS X, you will need to install Mono to be able to execute .exe files.
  • The script was tested with Mono 4.2 SR2 (4.2.3.4) ;
  • ⚠️ Mono is packaged with a version of Nuget deprecated for this script. You'll need to update the Nuget binary to use this script.

Installation

Windows

• Add nuget.exe to the PATH to allow the wrapper call nuget.exe easily.
• Add NEXUS_SOURCE_NAME and NEXUS_SOURCE_URL to your ~./bash_profile to skip -n && -s options. (See below)

Mac OS X

• Download one of the last version of Nuget (v3.4.3+)
• Go to /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/[...]/NuGet.exe and replace it with the last version of Nuget you've downloaded (I suggest to rename the old file).

Notes

• Be sure to name nuget.exe as the old file : NuGet.exe. Otherwise you will have to go to /usr/local/bin/and edit mono to tell him where is the new nuget.exe to launch with mono.

Usage

./manageDependencies -a <ARTIFACT_ID> -v <ARTIFACT_VERSION> -n <NEXUS_SOURCE_NAME> -s <NEXUS_SOURCE_URL>
