## Getting art for your shortcuts

* For the CLI version, Write it in the `config.toml` file (see how in the [config section](#configuration)).
* for the Ui version , copy it into the auth key input.

## Configuration
The tool reads its configuration from a `config.toml` file.
You can either manually edit this file or use the UI version to changing these configurations.
Here is a simple example of how to write the config file:
```toml
[steamgrid_db]
auth_key="your steamgrid db auth key"
```
And here is a full example of all configuration options:
```toml
[epic_games]
enabled=true #On windows this is default true, on linux default false
location="C:\\ProgramData\\Epic\\EpicGamesLauncher\\Data\\Manifests" #If this value is not defined, the tool will try to find it automatically (only windows). If it can't find it, it will fail and tell you.

## Tips for Linux
If you are on linux, and want to use one of the launchers that is not available natively, here are a few ways that you can make them work.
### GOG
- Install [Lutris](https://lutris.net/)
- Install GOG thourgh Lutris [here](https://lutris.net/games/gog-galaxy/)
- Set the path to GOG in the config.toml (or through the ui)
- Run BoilR
- Remember to pick which version of Proton you want to use for a game, before the first time you want to rn it.
### Epic
I recommend you just use [Legendary](https://github.com/derrod/legendary). But if you really want to use EGS you can:
- Install [Lutris](https://lutris.net/)
- Install EGS thourgh Lutris [here](https://lutris.net/games/epic-games-store/)
- Set the path to EGS in the config.toml (or through the ui)
- Run BoilR
- Remember to pick which version of Proton you want to use for a game, before the first time you want to rn it.
### Origin
Currently BoilR can't setup shortcuts to Origin because Origin uses a special link to open games. But I know of a workaround, it is just going to take a bit to make (basicly let Boiler take that url as input and let it call origin with proton settings and the url).
This section will be updated when it is ready.
Untill then you can still play origin games thourgh Lutris [here](https://lutris.net/games/origin/)
