Noob Question. How do I use?

[VanishingBlaze]

Trying to figure out where im suppose to put the url at. im guessing i don't open the .exe until i have target

[kattjevfel]

gallery-dl is a command line application, so you first have to open cmd or powershell, and run the exe there, and then you can run something like gallery-dl http://example.com/tiddies from there.

ok, so i open the cmd. and typed the gallery-dl with the url, but i got 'gallery-dl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

so i think im missing something

[kattjevfel]

Right, I forgot you have to also specify .exe, or the full path of the program if you're in another directory. You could also add it to your path, like so: https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-10/add-windows-path-environment-variable/

i think the .exe is in an extracted folder in my downloads. how should the command look like?

[kattjevfel]

I don't have a windows machine set up, but it should be something like this:

Microsoft Windows 6.1.7601

Z:\home\katt>Z:\home\katt\Downloads\gallery-dl.exe https://twitter.com/fox_info_net/status/1405846890831249408
* .\gallery-dl\twitter\fox_info_net\1405846890831249408_1.jpg
Z:\home\katt>

ok i think i got the right command now, but i keep getting download errors (its cycling through like its downloading but an error pops up for each download) is there a problem with the website im using? im trying to download from kemono.party

take a screenshot or copy and upload the full message

[kattjevfel]

There are some issues open about kemono #1567 #1590 with some fixes, you'll probably want to take it there if you have further issues.

you have to also specify .exe

Unnecessary, even back in M$-DO$, just get the path and name right.

Ok I think I got it downloading, but idk where it's downloading to Edit: ok I found it. It's downloading to my c drive. How do I make it download to my d drive?

[rod-giovany]

with -d, --dest example: gallery-dl -d "C:\Users\Jonathan\Documents\gall" "https://URL"

Unless specified in the command line or the used config, always in the current folder like with nearly every app.

Keep the --verbose flag, it tells that among other things you'll need to know, especially when reporting.

it will better if you search closed issues with related question, after you read through those closed issues, you will know how to use it properly

the best thing is use pip version instead exe
