Setup

Downloading the repository

Simply run:

git clone https://codeberg.org/Bingus_Violet/SteamRPC
cd SteamRPC

In order for SteamRPC to run, you need to give it 2 environment variables.
Example:

STEAM_ID=12345678 node index.js

Below you can find documentation for how to get your Steam ID.

Steam Setup

Getting your Steam ID is a much simpler process.

  1. Navigate to Steam and login if you haven't already (You can do this both in the app or on the web)
  2. Hover on your username at the top and go to "friends"
  3. Navigate to the "Add a friend page" on the left
  4. Copy your friend code

Now replace the STEAM_ID environment variable with the SteamID you just got.

Although this isn't nessacarily the most sophisticated method for getting your steam ID, its the one I find the easiest.

Running it

Lastly, all you need to do, is open a terminal and run

node index.js

There are also option environment variables:

  • UPDATE_TIME=[number of seconds to update]
    • this HAS TO BE over 30 seconds
  • STEAM_ID=[your_steam_id]
    • Prevents the program from prompting you for your steam ID

If everything is setup properly, it should look something like this!:
