Hi,

What OS and architecture are you trying to install this on? (e.g. Raspberry Pi OS/Debian 11 (64-bit), macOS 12 Monterey (Apple Silicon), etc.)

Additionally have you already installed all the required software? If so, which versions of git and docker are you currently running?

I'm running on windows 10 Home . Please help

This tool is mainly build for running on a (headless) instance of Raspberry Pi OS running on a Raspberry Pi 4. You can run it on Windows or macOS, but that does require some more knowledge of Docker (and especially it's limitations on Windows).

I'm assuming you're running on an x64 chipset (e.g. Intel® Core™ i7, AMD Ryzen™ 9, etc.)

You should start by performing the following steps:

1. Install Docker Desktop and Git.
2. Start Docker desktop. You should see it's whale icon appear on the taskbar (bottom right, next to the clock somewhere).
3. Verify it all installed correctly. You can do this by opening a terminal (Search for either Command Prompt or Windows PowerShell) and run the following commands:

docker version

docker compose version

git --version

Please let me know the output of those commands.

Looks alright, have you also cloned both the API and website repositories? Preferably to somewhere in your home directory.

If you haven't yet, you can do as follows:

1. Open the folder where you want to clone the files in Windows File Explorer.
2. Hold SHIFT and right-click somewhere in this folder.
3. Select the Open PowerShell window here option.
4. Run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/web-dl-tools/api.git
git clone https://github.com/web-dl-tools/website.git

Two new folders should have appeared inside the folder in Windows File Explorer.

I was successfully cloned 2 folder, how to run the program please tell me .

Great. The only things left to do are to add some config values and then start it up.

For defining the config values both the API and website expect that there is a .env file available. An example file is available in both repo's (.env.dist). Now in order to perform this step you will need an editor that can view/edit dotfiles. Dotfiles are normally hidden in Windows File Explorer.

I'd personally recommend Visual Studio Code, but any other file editor will work (Sublime Text, VIM, etc.). Once you have one installed, you can follow the next steps:

1. Open one of the repo's in the text editor.
2. Make a copy of .env.dist called .env. Place it also in the root folder, alongside the template .env.dist file. Make sure you don't forget to add the dot at the beginning of the file name.
3. Fill in the values in the .env file. You can refer to the documentation for additional information about each field.
4. Repeat for the other repository.

Once you've done that both repositories should have a filled in .env file. You probably won't see it in Windows file Explorer, but when opening the folder in the text editor it should be there.
