Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Nexus CLI

Enables automated downloads of individual mods and collections from Nexus without a premium subscription.

nexus downloading a collection

Note: this does not unlock premium download speeds. It uses the same free "slow download" the website gives you — it just saves you from clicking through every mod and collection by hand.

Install

macOS / Linux:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carlelieser/nexus-cli/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carlelieser/nexus-cli/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

Node/NPM:

npm install -g @carlelieser/nexus-cli

Manual

Download the archive for your platform from the latest release.

Usage

Log in to Nexus. This opens a browser window — sign in, and your session is saved automatically.

nexus login

Alternatively, if you're already logged in to Nexus in your browser, import that session instead:

nexus import --from chrome

Search for mods — each result prints a URL you can feed straight into nexus download:

nexus search skyui --game skyrimspecialedition

Show a mod's details:

nexus get https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/12604
# or
nexus get --game skyrimspecialedition --mod 12604

Download an individual mod:

nexus download https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/12604

Download an entire collection:

nexus download https://www.nexusmods.com/games/skyrimspecialedition/collections/llafgc

Hand the download off to your mod manager:

nexus download https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/12604 --nmm
# Works on collections, too!
