MIT License

It is recommended that you back up your ESO live profile before using banana in case you want to revert back.

On Windows, press Windows Key + e to open a file explorer and enter the following path in the address bar:

%HOME%\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\

or on Windows 11

Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\

Make a copy of the live folder and rename it to something meaningful like old or backup.

Usage

Follow the installation instructions for your platform:

On first run, the addons.list file will be created in your ESO live directory. It will look similar to the following:

https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info7-LibAddonMenu.html
https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1245-TamrielTradeCentre.html
https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1146-LibCustomMenu.html

Add the ESOUI url for each additional addon you wish to keep updated. Make sure to include the www. indicator that ESOUI requires for some stupid reason.

Windows Installation

  1. Download the latest banana.exe release for Windows.

  2. Add the executable to the user's path or replace "banana.exe" with the full path to where the executable is stored.

  3. Run the executable from the commandline with banana.exe -h for usage.

Windows Optional
