rbxmk is a command-line tool for manipulating Roblox files.
rbxmk is useful for development workflows that involve the combination of many separate files. If your project is organized as Lua files for scripting and model files for assets, rbxmk makes it simple to combine them into a final product, be it a game, plugin, model, module, and so on. rbxmk is also suitable for more simple actions, such as downloading models or publishing games.
The current version of rbxmk is v0.9.1. The following builds are available for download:
| Windows | Mac | Linux |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 64-bit | macOS | Linux 64-bit |
| Windows 32-bit | Linux 32-bit |
See the Release page for more information on the current version.
rbxmk is fully featured, but thorough testing of all features is still a work in progress. Please practice redundancy and use backups to reduce the risk of data loss. Be sure to report issues as you encounter them!
rbxmk is a command-line tool, and so requires a command-line interface to use.
rbxmk primarily uses Lua scripts to produce and retrieve data, transform
it, and send it off to a variety of sources. The main subcommand is run, which
executes a script:
echo 'print("Hello world!")' > hello-world.lua
rbxmk run hello-world.lua
# Hello world!The Documentation page provides a complete reference on how rbxmk is used, as well as the API of the Lua environment provided by rbxmk.
The examples directory contains examples of rbxmk scripts.
In addition to prebuilt releases, rbxmk can be installed manually.
- Install Go
- Install Git

A specific version of rbxmk may be installed by replacing latest with a
version number (e.g. v0.9.1).
