Installation

Installation instructions*

If you have trouble installing, see extended installation instructions here or join the discord server for help.

Note:

  • For Cloudflare scraping either cfscrape or selenium is used. Cfscrape depends on node-js and selenium utilizes an automated invisible instance of a browser (chrome/firefox). So, if you want to use Cloudflare enabled sites, make sure you have node-js and a webdriver installed.
  • You might have to use pip3 depending on your system

Please don't judge me for not paying for anime. I want to support the anime industry, but being a college student, I can't.
