On Linux

[bonelifer]

Is there a set of commands I can run to install this without me using Linux Homebrew?

[paulgalow]

It is possible but it is a bit of a pain. Assuming you have Python 3.6+ and pip installed, you could try:

git clone https://github.com/paulgalow/albumart-dl.git
cd albumart-dl
sed 's/3.7/3/' -i Pipfile
pip install pipenv
pipenv install

This will edit the Pipfile and then install pipenv. pipenv will then download and install dependencies.

The downside is that you have to prepend pipenv run anytime you want to run albumart-dl, e.g.:

pipenv run albumart-dl "Brad Mehldau After Bach"

Did a quick test using the python:3-bullseye Docker image.

Not sure why this is but it looks like the setup actually succeeded. The main error seems to suggest, that albumart-dl could not be found. What happens if you run pipenv run albumart-dl "Brad Mehldau After Bach" from the directory where you have installed/cloned the app?

[paulgalow]

Looking at your output again, it seems pipenv install was omitted before you ran pipenv run albumart-dl "Zac Brown Band Chicken Fried". At least I can't find its invocation.

[bonelifer]

NVM. That was it. I thought I had done that.

I still get this during the run, but it works otherwise: '/home/william/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py:122: PkgResourcesDeprecationWarning: 0.1.36ubuntu1 is an invalid version and will not be supported in a future release warnings.warn( /home/william/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py:122: PkgResourcesDeprecationWarning: 1.13.1-unknown is an invalid version and will not be supported in a future release warnings.warn( /home/william/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py:122: PkgResourcesDeprecationWarning: 2.1.2pop0-1587756471-20.04-cd2988e is an invalid version and will not be supported in a future release warnings.warn( /home/william/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py:122: PkgResourcesDeprecationWarning: 0.23ubuntu1 is an invalid version and will not be supported in a future release warnings.warn( '

[paulgalow]

Great. The remaining errors seem to be related to your local version of Python or some of its installed packages. At least I did not encounter those on a freshly installed version of a more recent Python release.

[bonelifer]

For those that see this in the future. Add this alias to your ~/.bash_aliases:

alias albumart-dl="cd /path/tothefolder/albumart-dl/ && pipenv run albumart-dl"

Now run: source ~/.bash_aliases

then just run as usual: albumart-dl "Singer Song Title"

This would make a good Github Wiki entry.
