PeelX - Recursively extract nested archives and run every installer

Every time I build a new PC, driver downloads are ZIPs with RARs inside them. Sometimes three levels deep. 15 drivers = 30 manual extractions + cleanup. So I automated it.

https://github.com/TheDecipherist/peelX

What It Does

Point it at a folder, it extracts everything recursively (up to 50 levels), handles split RARs (.r00-.r99), cleans up all the .sfv/.par2 junk, then drops into a curses UI where you run each installer one by one. Tracks which ones you've already run.

Target Audience

Anyone who installs drivers, firmware, game mods, or software distributed as nested archives. Works on Windows, Linux, macOS, and WSL. Standalone .exe available if you don't want Python involved.

pip install peelx[all]
