Hi,

i am stuck on step 1 :/ I have made Telegram API and all but CMD and terminal I have no clue 'Run the Script: Open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where the Telegram Channel Downloader is located. Run the following command to start the script:'

I know what CMD is but what do you mean by 'terminal' like in Python terminal?! Also, no idea what 'script' I need to start first

Hi @SphinxRa40, I guess you are using window. you can use cmd to run the script. step 1: navigate to folder where you have downloaded the script step 2: configure config file as mentioned in readme step 3: run command node index.js step 4: login using your mobile number inculding country code follow on screen command to download chats and media

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, the config file I already changed, and yes I am W10, when following your steps from step 3 I get this:
