README
The free and open-source Download Manager written in pure Python
## Choose your Version
**The newest version of pyLoad** running on Python 3.6+ and PyPy (experimental) is developed in the [main branch on GitHub](https://github.com/pyload/pyload/tree/main) and published as [pyload-ng on PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/pyload-ng/).
**The old version of pyLoad** working on Python 2 is still available in the [stable branch on GitHub](https://github.com/pyload/pyload/tree/stable), pre-built packages are available for download on the [releases page on GitHub](https://github.com/pyload/pyload/releases).
This README covers only the latest version of pyLoad.
## Quick Start
Open a terminal window and install pyLoad typing:
pip install --pre pyload-ng[all]
To start pyLoad use the command:
pyload
See the [usage section](#usage) for information on all available options.
If you want to uninstall pyLoad:
pip uninstall pyload-ng
## Usage
usage: pyload [-h] [-d] [-r] [--storagedir STORAGEDIR] [--userdir USERDIR]
[--tempdir TEMPDIR] [--dry-run] [--daemon] [--version]
The free and open-source Download Manager written in pure Python
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d, --debug enable debug mode
-r, --reset reset default username/password
--storagedir STORAGEDIR use this location to save downloads
--userdir USERDIR use this location to store user data files
--tempdir TEMPDIR use this location to store temporary files
--dry-run test start-up and exit
--daemon run as daemon
--version show program's version number and exit
To start pyLoad, type the command:
pyload
This will create the following directories (if they don't exist already):
- `~/Downloads/pyLoad`: where downloads will be saved.
- `~/.pyload`: where user data and configuration files are stored.
- `/pyLoad`: where temporary files are stored. `` is [platform-specific](https://docs.python.org/3/library/tempfile.html#tempfile.gettempdir).
> **Note**:
> On Windows, user data and configuration files are stored in the directory `~\AppData\Roaming\pyLoad`.
### Help
To show an overview of the available options, type:
pyload --help
### Web Interface
Open your web browser and visit the url http://localhost:8000 to have access to
the pyLoad's web interface.
- Default username: `pyload`.
- Default password: `pyload`.
**It's highly recommended to change the default access credentials on first start**.
## Advanced Installation
### Stable Release
Get the latest stable release of pyLoad:
pip install pyload-ng
> **Note**:
> No stable release yet, pyLoad is now in pre-release phase.
#### Available modules
- `pyload.core`: pyLoad's heart.
- `pyload.plugins`: the collection of officially supported plugins for pyLoad.
- `pyload.webui`: a web interface to interact with pyLoad.
### Development Release
You can force the installation of the latest development release of pyLoad,
appending the option `--pre` to the installation command:
pip install --pre pyload-ng
**Do not use development releases in production**. Unexpected crashes may occur.
### Extra Dependencies
Extra dependencies are non-essential packages that enable additional features of pyLoad.
To install them you have to append a specific tag name to the installation command.
#### Available tags
- `plugins`: includes packages used by several plugins.
- `build`: includes packages used to [build translations](#build-translations).
- `all`: includes both plugins and build packages.
You can use a tag in this way:
pip install pyload-ng[plugins]
Or group more together:
pip install pyload-ng[plugins][build]
### Build Translations
Use the command `build_locale` to retrieve and build the latest locale files (translations):
python setup.py build_locale
Invoke `build_locale` before building the package (eg. `bdist_wheel`).
> **Note**:
>
> You don't need to build the translations if you installed pyLoad through `pip`, they're already included.

## Troubleshooting
### pip not found
Retry replacing the command `pip` with `pip3`:
pip3 install pyload-ng
If fails again, you may not have the Python interpreter
or the pip package manager installed on your system.
Try reinstalling Python to fix this issue.
Visit https://www.python.org/downloads
to get the proper **Python 3** release for your system.
### pyload-ng not found
Check the version of the Python interpreters installed on your system.
To show the version of your **default** Python interpreter, type the command:
python --version
If the version is too old, try to upgrage Python, then you can retry to install pyLoad.
Python releases below version 3.6 are not supported!
### Setuptools is too old
To upgrade the `setuptools` package, type the command:
pip install --upgrade setuptools
### Permission denied
Under Unix-based systems, try to install pyLoad with root privileges.
Prefix the installation/uninstallation command with `sudo`:
sudo pip install pyload-ng
sudo pip uninstall pyload-ng
Under Windows systems, open a _Command Prompt as administrator_ to install pyLoad
with root privileges.
You can also try to install the `pyload-ng` package **without** root privileges.
Append the option `--user` to the installation command:
pip install --user pyload-ng
