@nexusmods/fomod-installer-ipc
A Node.js package for installing FOMOD mod archives. It spawns a .NET process and communicates with it over IPC (stdin/stdout), giving you access to the full FOMOD feature set -- including both XML and C# install scripts.
This is the integration used by Vortex, the Nexus Mods mod manager.
When to use this vs @nexusmods/fomod-installer-native
| | fomod-installer-ipc | fomod-installer-native |
|---|---|---|
| Script support | XML + C# | XML only |
| Runtime | Requires .NET 9 | No runtime needed (Native AOT) |
| Integration | Spawns a child process | Loads a shared library via N-API |
| Platforms | Windows (C# scripts), cross-platform (XML only) | Windows, Linux |
Use this package if you need C# script support. Use @nexusmods/fomod-installer-native if you only need XML scripts and want a lighter footprint.
Requirements
- Node.js 22+
- .NET 9 runtime (bundled during build)
