From Source

Requirements:

• Rust stable
• Node.js and npm
• Tauri prerequisites for your operating system

Basic Usage

1. Start Crux Addon Manager.
2. Confirm or select your ESO AddOns folder. On Windows this is usually under Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns.
3. Use Installed to review local addons, update candidates, dependencies, and unmatched addons.
4. Use Search to browse addons and open addon details.
5. Review the install or update preview before confirming changes.
6. Configure a backup folder in Settings before large update or reinstall work.

On first setup, Crux can import existing addon matches as the current baseline. This helps prevent already-installed addons from being treated as unmanaged when checking for future updates.
