## Installation

### Homebrew (Mac, Linux)

```shell
# homebrew
brew install robinovitch61/tap/webtoon-dl
```

To upgrade the version installed with homebrew:
```shell
# upgrade using homebrew
brew update && brew upgrade webtoon-dl
```

### Download from Github (Mac, Linux, Windows)
# windows with winget
winget install robinovitch61.webtoon-dl

Download the relevant binary for your operating system (MacOS = Darwin) from
the [latest github release](https://github.com/robinovitch61/webtoon-dl/releases). Unpack/extract it, then move the
binary or .exe to somewhere accessible in your `PATH`, e.g. `mv ./webtoon-dl /usr/local/bin`.
# windows with scoop
scoop bucket add robinovitch61 https://github.com/robinovitch61/scoop-bucket
scoop install webtoon-dl

### Using [go installed on your machine](https://go.dev/doc/install) (Mac, Linux, Windows)
# windows with chocolatey
choco install webtoon-dl

```shell
# with go (https://go.dev/doc/install)
go install github.com/robinovitch61/webtoon-dl@latest
```

### Step by Step Windows Installation Instructions

1. Check the processor type you're using by going to System Information and looking at Processor. Go to [this page](https://github.com/robinovitch61/webtoon-dl/releases). If your Processor says "Intel" anywhere, download the file that ends in "Windows\_i386.tar.gz" by clicking it. If it says "Arm", instead click the file that ends in "Windows\_arm64.tar.gz".
2. Once the file is downloaded to your Downloads folder, you have to unzip and extract it. If you use [7zip](https://www.7-zip.org/), you can right click the file and hit "7zip -> Extract here", then right click the ".tar" file that's created and hit "7zip -> Extract here" again. You should end up with a file called "webtoon-dl.exe" in your Downloads folder.
3. If Windows thinks the .exe file is malware and deletes it automatically, you can prevent that by temporarily disabling "Real time protection" under "Virus & threat protection settings", following step 2 again to get back the .exe, then [adding an exclusion for it](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/add-an-exclusion-to-windows-security-811816c0-4dfd-af4a-47e4-c301afe13b26). This isn't malware, it's just some code I wrote in go, with all the source code available [here](https://github.com/robinovitch61/webtoon-dl/blob/main/main.go).
4. Once you have the .exe in your Downloads and Windows isn't going to auto-remove it, you can open the Command Prompt:
1. First, type `cd Downloads` and hit enter to get to your Downloads folder
2. Now confirm that "webtoon-dl.exe" shows up in the output when you type `dir` and hit enter
3. Setup is over!
5. Still in the Command Prompt, now run, for example, `webtoon-dl.exe "https://www.webtoons.com/en/slice-of-life/bugtopia/ep-8-a-special-gift/viewer?title_no=4842&episode_no=8"`. This will run and print what it's doing, then output a PDF file of that comic in your Downloads folder.
Alternatively, download the relevant binary for your operating system (MacOS = Darwin) from
the [latest github release](https://github.com/robinovitch61/webtoon-dl/releases). Unpack/extract it, then move the
binary or .exe to somewhere accessible in your `PATH`, e.g. `mv ./webtoon-dl /usr/local/bin`.
