## License
Pillager is licensed under the MIT-Licene. (Look in the root directory)
## Dependencies
Pillager needs two binaries for building: [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) and [youtube-dl](https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/index.html)
### Youtube-dl
Youtube-dl should be included in the package. You don't need to build it yourself. If youtube-dl is not included in the source code you can get it from their [website.](https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html).
### FFmpeg
You need to import a compiled version of [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) to build the source code. I don't want to ship FFmpeg with my source code because of license problems, so please accept this workaround. FFmpeg is licenced under [GPLv2](http://www.gnu.de/documents/gpl-2.0.de.html) (or [PGPv3](http://www.gnu.de/documents/gpl.de.html)). I don't own anything about FFpmeg. All copyrights belong to their respective owners. If you want to know more about the licensing of FFmpeg look [here](https://ffmpeg.org/legal.html). If you want to distribute Pillager with FFmpeg included, then of curse you need to accept their license agreements too!
#### How to import FFmpeg
Just drag and drop the binary to the "Exec"-Group in Xcode. That's all, you should be able to build the application now.
#### Get FFmpeg
If you don't have FFmpeg or want to build it manually yourself, here is a little workaround:
1. You need Homebrew. If you don't have Homebrew [look here](https://brew.sh/). Homebrew is a super simple package manager for macOS.
2. Open the terminal.
3. Type `brew install ffmpeg`
4. When finished type `brew --prefix ffmpeg`
5. `cd` to displayed Path.
6. Type `open .` Finder should open a window to the Path.
7. Switch to subdirectory "bin" there is the "ffmpeg" executable. Now drag and drop it to Xcode.
