Do I need to open the command line before enabling godotpcktool?
Yes, you need to use it from command prompt (if you are on Windows). Example commands and reference on what commands exist is in the project’s readme:
I won’t be able to provide general tech support about using a command line program.
I don’t even understand how to install this program correctly (I’m a complete zero in programming), because the file that I downloaded is an .exe file and when activated it does NOTHING (even if the command line is open). Can you describe in detail the instructions for proper downloading?
That .exe is the program. It just doesn’t do anything if you double click it because it is a command line tool so it gets no instructions to do anything so it just immediately quits. To “install” it you can put it in a folder that command prompt looks for commands in, or you can navigate an opened command prompt window to where the .exe is to be able to tell command prompt to run it.
This is kind of basic command line program usage that I’m sure there are tutorials and guides out there to learn about.

I personally would have downloaded Thrive source from GitHub and open it in Godot (4.2). But to open godotpcktool in terminal press somewhere right click in the folder it is in and press Open in Terminal.
And when cmd is open type
.\godotpcktool --action add MyMod.pck --remove-prefix extracted "C:\Users\user\Documents\ThriveStuff\ThriveMod1\resources" Or whatever is your path to your Thrive mod PCK related Folder to PACK it (not unpack).

Just download it, it doesn’t need installing
