nops

nops is a an interactive command line based front end for the excellent PkgDecrypt.

Installation

1. Install the PkgDecrypt application globally. The pkc_dec executable must be found on your system's $PATH.
2. Node.js version greater than 8.6.0 is required.
3. After Node.js is installed, use npm to install nops:

$ npm install -g nops

Usage

$ nops --help

  Usage: nops [options]

  Options:

    -V, --version  output the version number
    -d, --dirty    disable deletion of downloaded PKG after successful decryption and extraction
    -v, --verbose  enable verbose output to stdout and stderr
    -h, --help     output usage information

• From a Terminal window change directory to a volume with sufficient free space.
• Type nops and follow the interactive prompts. If you mess up hit Ctrl-C to quit and try again. The application accepts your input and automates download and interaction with PkgDecrpt.
• Downloaded and decrypted files will be stored in the directory from which nops was run.

Upgrading

• From a terminal window use a JavaScript package manager to upgrade the application. For example, using npm:

$ npm upgrade nops -g

Removal

• From a terminal window use a JavaScript package manager to remove the application. For example, using npm:

$ npm uninstall nops -g

Found a bug?

• Re-run nops with the --verbose flag.
• Examine the output closely. If the error occurs during extraction and decryption please try to reproduce the error by running the full pkg_dec ... command on its own.
  • If the error is reproducible then please visit the PkgDecrypt repo.
  • If the error is not reproducible please file an issue in this repo. Understand that this is free software and YMMV.

I'm still having trouble?

• Did nops and PkgDecrypt complete without an issue but you're still having trouble? If so please start with visiting relevant subreddits or Discord chats. This application is simply a front-end.
