This script was initially designed to just update my Helium browser but over time and interest it got more functional and universal. With "little" tinkering it should be possible to apply this script to install, update & configure many kinds of releases from source like AppImages, binaries, etc...
## Functions
- Install Helium
- Install Helium **-i**
- Update Helium
- Update Helium **-u**
- Backup Helium **-b**
- Update helium_helper.sh **-S**
- Remove Helium
- Remove Helium **-r**
- Add and update Desktop Launcher with extra functionality

## Usage
get help
### Help
```sh
./helium_helper.sh -h
```
---
### First Install
To initally install Helium browser via this script, download helium_helper.sh and make it executable:
```sh
wget https://lab.c95.org/fr4nz/helium-helper/raw/branch/main/helium_helper.sh && chmod +x helium_helper.sh
```
Run script with install parameter **-i**
Run script with install parameter _-i_
- Default install directory = `$HOME/.apps/Helium`
```sh
./helium_helper.sh -i
```
Add alias to `.shellrc` | _optional_
- Custom install directory
```sh
./helium_helper.sh -a ### ONLY TESTED WITH zsh & bash
./helium_helper.sh -i
```
**NOTE:** The install path specified won't be overridden within the script yet. Working on it...
**OPTIONAL** : Add alias to `.shellrc` | _working in zsh, bash & fish_
- Default alias = `update-helium`
```sh
./helium_helper.sh -a
```
- Custom alias
```sh
./helium_helper.sh -a <ALIAS>
```
**NOTE:** The alias specified won't be overridden within the script yet. Working on it...
---
### Updating
**From launcher** (if added)
**From launcher** (if added during install or by running `./helium_helper.sh -l`)
Checking for the latest version and updating can simply be done for the browser as well as the script by right clicking the app icon and choosing either update option, which will be run by `helium_launcher_update.sh`. This will backup all files that are being updated and write a log.
**Terminal**
Updating can also be done by running:
- Update Helium Browser
```sh
./helium_helper.sh -u ### UPDATE APP
./helium_helper.sh -u
```
- Update Helium Helper
```sh
./helium_helper.sh -S ### UPDATE SCRIPT
./helium_helper.sh -S
```
Since this script is interactive, it doesn't keep logs.
---
### Backing up
Backing up pulls all important files, folders & configuration and compresses an archive, which by default is stored in `$HOME/.apps/Helium/assets`
- Backup to default path
```sh
./helium_helper.sh -b
```
- Backup to custom path
```sh
./helium_helper.sh -b </PATH/TO/DESTINATION>
```
**NOTE:** The backup path specified won't be overridden within the script yet. Working on it...
**Since this script is interactive, it doesn't keep logs.**
