# e6dl
|
|
|
|
**["I don't care about any of this, just take me to the downloads"](https://github.com/tjhorner/e6dl/releases/latest)**
|
|
|
|

|
|
This is a command line tool for downloading posts that match certain tags on e621 or e926.
|
|
|
|
It does basically the same thing as [this tool](https://www.npmjs.com/package/e6dl) except it was written in Go and the output is a lot less pretty.
|
|
|
|
It supports concurrently downloading posts, and you can set a maximum number of workers that should be downloading at a time.
|
|
|
|
I made this because I wanted to rewrite one of my previous projects in Go, so I decided to start with this one since it's a pretty small and simple command line tool that encapsulates a lot of concepts in the language (type definition, imports, goroutines, standard libraries, slices, to name a few).
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
### Prebuilt Binaries
|
|
|
|
There is an install script available for Linux/macOS [here](https://github.com/tjhorner/e6dl/blob/master/install.sh). It automatically grabs the latest release (at the time of writing) and saves to `/usr/local/bin/e6dl`.
|
|
|
|
### From Source
|
|
|
|
Clone repo.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Build e6dl then install it to /usr/local/bin
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also install it to a custom path of your choosing:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make install INSTALLPATH="/bin"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you wanna get rid of it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make uninstall
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
First, install Go.
|
|
|
|
Then just:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`bin/e6dl` will magically appear. You can also just:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go run main.go
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To distribute:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make dist
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3 files will be spit out in the `dist` directory - one for Windows, one for macOS, and one for Linux.
|
|
|
|
You can also run `make dist-win`, `make dist-macos`, or `make dist-linux` to build them individually.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
Here's a situation that uses every flag:
|
|
|
|
If you wanted to download a maximum of 20 posts with the tag `pokemon` in random order from e926 to the directory `./posts` with a maximum of 2 downloading at a time:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
e6dl --tags "pokemon order:random" --out ./posts --limit 20 --concurrents 2 --sfw
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
