Peertube-dl/README.md

# Peertube-dl

A little Perl program which downloads videos from some webpages.

Wants to be something similar to youtube-dl with support for some sites not acceptables under youtube-dl policies.

Of course the name means Peertube will be supported someday.

## Supported webpages:

animeflv.net

animeflv.cc

## Installation

There is two alternative ways applying to the GNU/Linux OS:

### System install

```shell
# Be aware the apt command applies to Debian/Ubuntu or other distributions using apt as their package manager.
# I am not adding instructions to every distro since they can difficult reading this document.
# You should use the equivalent packages for your distribution if you are not using a Debian-like distribution of GNU/Linux.
sudo apt install perl make libwww-perl liburi-encode-perl libjson-perl liblwp-protocol-https-perl libtest-mockobject-perl libtest-most-perl libmojolicious-perl
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
```

### Localized install with cpanminus.

```
sudo apt install cpanminus
cpanm . --installdeps
cpanm .
```

### Windows

You should use Cywgin, Strawberry perl or WSL to be able to use this software in Windows
and then follow one of the two procedures given before to GNU/Linux.

I am not giving you a detailed instructions in that case given that I am not responsible 
of your bad software choices in operative systems.

### MAC

Maybe you can use homebrew to get the prerequisites and then install this program using the install 
with cpanminus.

Again not detailed instructions since it is not my problem the defective by desing OS and
hardware you choose.

It is doable anyway if you want to give a try.

## Usage

`peertube-dl <Supported url>`

You can assume the supported urls are the ones which have a media player.
