# Nebula
Generate a distribution.json for Helios.
## Requirements
* Node.js 12
* Java 8+ (https://adoptopenjdk.net/)
* This is required to process [XZ](https://tukaani.org/xz/format.html) files.
## Setup
1. Clone the repository
2. Install the dependencies (`npm i`)
3. Create a `.env` file at the root directory and set the required values.
Example
```properties
JAVA_EXECUTABLE=C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk-8.0.232.09-hotspot\bin\java.exe
ROOT=D:\TestRoot2
BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080/
```
## Usage
Nebula is not complete. The following usage is tentative.
#### Notes
Rather than updating the entire usage with minor changes, please read these notes.
* Root and BaseUrl options are currently disabled. This information is being pulled from the `.env` for now.
## Commands
Commands will be documented here. You can run any command with the `--help` option to view more information.

## File Structure Setup (Tentative)
Nebula aims to provide users with an information preserving structure for storing files. The application will use this structure to generate a full distribution.json for HeliosLauncher. For coherency, the distribution structure is modularized and encapsulated by a directory pattern. These encapsulations will be explained below. They can be generated manually or by using the commands documented above.
### Distribution Encapsulation
The distribution object is represented by the main root. All command output will be stored in this directory. The structure is documented below.
Ex.
* `TestRoot` The root directory which encapsulates the distribution.
* `servers` All server files are stored in this directory.
### Server Encapsulation
Server objects are encapsulated in their own folders. The name of the server's folder contains both its id and version.
Ex.
* `servers`
* `TestServer-1.12.2` A server with id TestServer set to version 1.12.2.
The server directory will contain files pertaining to that server.
Ex.
* `TestServer-1.12.2`
* `files` All modules of type `File`.
* `forgemods` All modules of type `ForgeMod`.
* `litemods` All modules of type `LiteMod`.
* `TestServer-1.12.2.png` Server icon file.
