ANIME WATCHER

What is this ?

Anime Watcher is a python program that allows you to watch anime in your terminal like a true nerddd

How to use it

Install python

You need to install Python 3.12.4. Make sure you add it to the path and install PIP (which are options to check during the installation process).

Install MPV

It is recommended to install MPV using scoop. First install scoop by running in your PowerShell the following command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://get.scoop.sh | Invoke-Expression

Then install MPV and youtube-dl by running this command in your CLI:

scoop bucket add extras
scoop install extras/mpv
scoop bucket add main
scoop install main/yt-dlp

Install Anime Watcher

Clone this repo / download it as a zip file and unzip it somewhere on your drive. Run the dependrancy.bat file to install the python dependencies.

Open a CLI, place yourself in the directory where Anime Watcher is installed, and run Anime Watcher using the followin command: py main.py. For some people, this command doesn't work, and they need to use python main.py. Test both of them to see which one works on your system.

Adding Anime Watcher as a command in your CLI (optional)

If you want to start Anime Watcher from aniwhere in your system (without having to change directory), follow these steps.

First, go in a folder that is listed in your path. You can use WinKey > env > Path to see the list of path folders or add one. Then, create a file named anime-watcher.bat or whatever name you want (it will be the command to run in the cli) and write the following line into it:

@START py [path]main.py

Replace [path] with the path in which is located Anime Watcher on your drive. For example: @START py D:\Documents\Dev\anime-watcher\main.py

As in the last step, you may have to use python instead of py for it to work.

Then, open a CLI and type anime-watcher, that's it !
