Can I run it from CMD (Windows) #177

Hlaxfors commented 2 years ago

I really just want to run it straight in cmd

SteinGaming commented 2 years ago

I don't think you can since it's a shell script, but you could use the windows subsystem for linux (WSL)

Dr-S-Otter commented 2 years ago

Yes, you can. (I'd advise to first install windows terminal (Microsoft store) because it makes a lot of things easier)

  1. Install ani-cli using git clone (same way as on Linux)
  2. Install a WSL (can easily install through Microsoft store)
  3. Navigate to the ani-cli path while in the WSL and run sudo make
  4. Exit WSL (everything after this is just in windows)
  5. Install chocolatey
  6. Install the dependencies of ani-cli except mpv using chocolatey
  7. Install mpv through Sourceforge and follow these steps https://www.reddit.com/r/mpv/comments/lrprsu/how_to_open_mpv_command_line/
  8. go to the ani-cli directory and copy ani-cli to ani-cli.sh
  9. Change player_fn="mpv" to player_fn="mpv.exe" in ani-cli.sh

Now you can run this in cmd by going to the ani-cli directory and executing bash ani-cli.sh
