1. Install [python](https://www.python.org/downloads/), make sure "Add python 3.xx to PATH" is checked while installing else it wont work.
2. Download the [latest version](https://github.com/Tetrax-10/batch-metadata-editor/releases/latest) of this script (zip file)
3. Extract the zip and copy the `metadata-editor` folder to `C:\Program Files`
4. Now open start menu and search for `"Edit environment variables for your account"` and click the first result
5. Now select path and click edit, a new tab should open
6. In that new tab click `new` and paste this path `C:\Program Files\metadata-editor`, click ok, Done 🎉
## How to run it?
1. Open terminal and run
```sh
python "C:\Program Files\metadata-editor\script.py"
```
2. It will ask for path, so give the file or folder path as the input.
- for **batch metadata editing** give folder path. example: `D:\Media\movies`
- for **single file metadata editing** give video file path (mp4 or mkv). example: `D:\Media\movies\Oldboy 2160p DC [2003].mkv`
