Cyberdrop-DL Install

Using Start Scripts (From Release Page)

This is the simplest method to get the program up and running. Pre-configured start files are provided that will automatically install, update, and launch the program for you.

You can download them here: https://github.com/jbsparrow/CyberDropDownloader/releases/latest

You only need to download the Cyberdrop-DL_<version>.zip file, you don't need to worry about the other files.

Extract the contents of the zip file to any location where you'd like the program to run and store downloaded files. The extracted files will include a start file for Windows, macOS, and Linux

If you're using Windows or Linux, simply open the start file, and it will handle the rest for you

If you are using Windows, DO NOT run the script as admin

On macOS, you should be able to open the start file and have everything set up automatically. However, in some rare cases, macOS users may need to run the following command first::

xcode-select --install

Optional: Running Cyberdrop-DL Script with Custom Parameters

You can open the start script from the zip in a text editor like notepad. At the top of the file, you will find 3 variables:

set "PYTHON="
set "VENV_DIR="
set "COMMANDLINE_ARGS="

PYTHON: Specify a custom path to the Python executable. This is useful if you have multiple Python versions installed and want to select a specific one

VENV_DIR: Define the path where the Python virtual environment will be created

COMMANDLINE_ARGS: Provide any arguments to pass to Cyberdrop-Dl. For more information, refer to the CLI Arguments section

You MUST put the values inside the double quotes. Ex: set "PYTHON=C:\Program Files\Python311\python.exe"

In a command prompt/terminal window:

If you're on Mac/Linux, you may need to change it to be
