Installing

To install EVE buddy just download the latest release from the releases page to your computer or mobile. The app ships as a single executable file that can be run directly. When you run the app for the first time it will automatically install itself for the current user (i.e. by creating folders in the home folder for the current user).

You find the latest packages for download on the releases page.

Windows
  1. Download the windows zip file from the latest release on Github.
  2. Unzip the file into a directory of your choice and run the .exe file to start the app.

[!TIP] Windows defender (and similar programs) may report EVE Buddy incorrectly as containing a trojan. This is usually a false positive and caused by a known issue with programs made with the Go programming language. Each EVE Buddy release is build from scratch on a fresh Windows container provided by Github, so it is highly unlikely to be infected. If this happens to you, please exclude EVE Buddy's executable from Windows defender (and similar programs) to proceed.

Mac OS
  1. Download the darwin zip file from the latest release on Github for your respective platform (arm or intel).
  2. Unzip the file into a directory of your choice.
  3. Run the .app file to start the app.

[!TIP] MacOS may report EVE Buddy incorrectly as "damaged", because it is not signed with an Apple certificate. You can remove this error by opening a terminal and running the following command. For more information please see Fyne Troubleshooting:

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine "EVE Buddy.app"

Linux

We are providing two variants for installing on Linux desktop:

  • AppImage: The AppImage variant allows you to run the app directly from the executable without requiring installation or root access.
  • Tarball: The tar file requires installation, but also allows you to integrate the app into your desktop environment. The tarball also has wider compatibility among different Linux versions.
AppImage

[!NOTE] The app is shipped in the AppImage format, so it can be used without requiring installation and run on many different Linux distributions.

  1. Download the latest AppImage file from the releases page
  2. Make the AppImage file executable
  3. Execute the AppImage file to start the app

[!TIP] Should you get the following error: AppImages require FUSE to run., you need to first install FUSE on your system. Thi s is a library required by all AppImages to function. Please see this page for details.

Tarball
  1. Download the latest tar file from the releases page
  2. Decompress the tar file, for example with: tar xf evebuddy-0.33.0-linux-amd64.tar.xz
  3. Run make user-install to install the app for the current user or run sudo make install to install the app on the system

You should now have a shortcut in your desktop environment's launcher for starting the app.

To uninstall the app again run either: make user-uninstall or sudo make uninstall depending on how you installed it.

Android

[!NOTE] Please note that the app can currently be only installed from the release page and is currently not available in any of the Android app stores.

[!IMPORTANT] EVE Buddy needs unrestricted background usage in order to function probably. The reason is that Android otherwise automatically suspends apps when you switch to another app. Then you can no longer add new characters, because it requires you to switch to your browser app, but EVE Buddy needs to keep running for the process to work. Also EVE Buddy needs to keep running in order to pick up events for notifications. Please also make sure you do not have Power saving mode enabled (e.g. on Samsung Galaxy), which would also restrict background app usage.

Here is how to install EVE Buddy on your Android phone:

  1. Make sure you have enabled in settings that you can install from your web browser (For detailed instructions please see How to install Unknown Sources applications in Android)
  2. Navigate to the github releases page in your mobile browser
  3. Select to download the latest EVE_Buddy.apk file from the release page (this can take a minute)
  4. When prompted choose to install the file / open the file with the default installer
  5. In case you get a security warning from Google Play Protect:
    1. Select "More details"
    2. Select "Install anyway"
  6. Enable unrestricted background usage for EVE Buddy in the Android Settings app. Please see How to enable unrestricted background usage for a step-by-step guide.
  7. Optional: Enable notifications for EVE BUddy. Please see How to enable notifications for a step-by-step guide.
How to enable notifications

Here is how to enable notifications for EVE Buddy on your Android phone:

  1. Go to settings and enable what kind of notifications you want to receive (e.g. mails)
  2. Send a test notification (via menu in settings)
  3. When asked: Allow EVE buddy to send Android notifications

You should now see a test notification.

How to enable unrestricted background usage

Here is how to enable unrestricted background usage for EVE Buddy on your Android phone:

  1. Open the Settings app.

  2. Go to Apps and choose EVE Buddy. You should now see a screen like this: evebuddy_settings_1

  3. Choose "App battery usage". You should now see a screen like this: evebuddy_settings_2

  4. Click on "Allow background usage". You should now see a screen like this: evebuddy_settings_3

  5. Make sure the "Unrestricted" option is selected. That's it.

Support

[!IMPORTANT] For bugs and feature requests please open an issue in the GitHub repository.

[!TIP] For support and any other questions please join us on in our channel #eve-buddy on this Discord server.

Common issues

The following is an overview of common issues with solutions:

Android
Windows
Logs

The app has an application log and a crash file that can help with trouble shooting. The location of the logs follows the standard of each platform:

Platform Path
Android Export only
Linux /home/{username}/.local/share/evebuddy/log
macOS /Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/evebuddy/log'
Windows C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\evebuddy\evebuddy\log

On desktop you can view the location of your log files on the User Data dialog, which you find in the main menu.

On both desktop and mobile you can export both logs from the Settings menu in the General section.

To view the exported logs on mobile you might want to install another app. While there are many decent apps for viewing log and text files on the Google Play store, we can recommend the following two apps:

FAQ

How well is my data protected?

EVE Buddy is designed to protect your data and tokens and has implemented the following safety measures:

  1. All data and tokens retrieved from CCP's servers are stored on your local computer only. Your data is therefore safe as long as you prevent any unauthorized access to the data on your computer.

  2. EVE Buddy also does not log any tokens (they are replaced with the text REDACTED). It is therefore safe to share your logs with maintainers for troubleshooting.

  3. EVE Buddy is fully compliant with the requirements for OAuth 2.0 for Mobile or Desktop Applications from CCP.

  4. In case you need to switch computers you can remove your data with the delete app.

Why do I not see all of my character's data in the app?

Some of your data from the game server might not be visible in EVE Buddy due to technical limitations of the game server API (ESI) or missing permissions.

When I try to add a character the app redirect to localhost. Should it not redirect to an CCP server?

No, the redirect to locahost is correct. This connects to EVE Buddy's own web server, which is needed for implementing CCP's authorization process called SSO. For more information please see the EVE Developer Documentation / SSO.

Server limitations

CCP's servers have limitations on how far back some character data can be retrieved.

Here is an overview of some limitations:

  • Wallet journal: 30 days, 2.500 entries
  • Wallet transaction: 2.500 entries

However, EVE Buddy will keep all historic data once retrieved. For example: If you allow EVE Buddy to update on a regular basis, it will be able to keep a record of your wallet transactions over many months and years.

Permissions

A special case are Upwell structures. Access to structures depends on in-game docking rights. Unfortunately, it is not possible to later retrieve the name or location of a structure, which the character no longer has access to. For example character assets might be displayed in an "unknown structure".
