World Of Warcraft addon manager

wow-better-cli

This is a fork from zekesonxx wow-cli project. The project is unmaintened so I took over.

This is a World of Warcraft addon downloader, installer, uninstaller, and manager.

Installation

Be sure to have git installed in your path

$ npm install -g wow-better-cli

wow-better-cli is, as the name implies, a CLI tool. The tool will keep track of your installed addons in a addons.json file in your AppData folder. The tool works on all platforms.
