### Installation

Download the correct binary in the [releases page](https://github.com/denisidoro/louvre/releases) and place it somewhere in your `$PATH`.

### Usage

1. `louvre config init`

1. edit the generated file accordingly

   - this also includes setting your [IGDB client credentials](https://www.igdb.com/api)

1. `louvre scrape`

1. `louvre media download`

1. `louvre pegasus gen`

### Status

It works, assuming: 

- you know how to use the terminal in your device your choice

- you can get IGDB client credentials 

### Roadmap

- drop the requirement for setting IGDB client credentials

- support [TGDB](https://thegamesdb.net), besides IGDB

- support more frontends, besides Pegasus
