- [Installation](https://github.com/dvingerh/PyInstaLive#installation)
- [Usage](https://github.com/dvingerh/PyInstaLive#usage)
## Quickstart
- Install the prerequisites and then PyInstaLive.
- Run `pyinstalive` to generate a default configuration file.
- Edit the configuration file using any text editor.
- Run `pyinstalive -d ""` to start downloading a livestream.
## Prerequisites
- [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html)
- [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
- [Python 3.6+](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
- [pip + setuptools](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/)
Make sure all tools are accessible via command line (added to your PATH if on Windows, use Google).
## Installation
*Tip — To install PyInstaLive with the latest commit changes, remove the version tag from the install command.*
Run the following command in your command line (might need to be run as administrator on Windows):
```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/dvingerh/[email protected]
```
## Usage
Make sure there is a configuration file called ``pyinstalive.ini`` in the directory you want to run PyInstaLive from.
PyInstaLive will automatically generate a default configuration file for you to edit if one is not present already.
Here is an example of a valid configuration file:
```ini
[pyinstalive]
username = johndoe
password = grapefruit
download_path =
ffmpeg_path =
download_comments = True
cmd_on_started =
cmd_on_ended =
clear_temp_files = False
use_locks = True
no_assemble = False
log_to_file = True
```
#### Example
```bash
pyinstalive -d "janedoe"
```
Below is an example of PyInstaLive's output after downloading a livestream:
```
> pyinstalive -d "janedoe"
