Please try it again after you've closed your Chrome browser.

See https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/issues/4417#issuecomment-1684002075 or https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/issues/4195#issuecomment-1733620105 for a workaround. Or close your browser as Hrxn said.

I closed chrome and tried it but i still cant, it says login required too + the previous error line i mentioned, is using gallery-dl --cookies-from-browser chrome URL correct? idk what to type in

pipereneta commented 9 months ago

Is there a way to remove gallery-dl completely so i can install it again?

Hrxn commented 9 months ago

Depends.. You gave no verbose log, no OS info, no installation method.

If you just use the standalone binary, there is nothing to remove. Simply delete the file. Again, a full verbose log would be useful, because if Chrome would actually not be running, this "[Errno 13] permission denied" is highly unlikely.
