# e6dl
**["I don't care about any of this, just take me to the downloads"](https://github.com/tjhorner/e6dl/releases/latest)**
This is a command line tool for downloading posts that match certain tags on e621 or e926.
It does basically the same thing as [this tool](https://www.npmjs.com/package/e6dl) except it was written in Go and the output is a lot less pretty.
It supports concurrently downloading posts, and you can set a maximum number of workers that should be downloading at a time.
I made this because I wanted to rewrite one of my previous projects in Go, so I decided to start with this one since it's a pretty small and simple command line tool that encapsulates a lot of concepts in the language (type definition, imports, goroutines, standard libraries, slices, to name a few).
## Installing
### Prebuilt Binaries
There is an install script available for Linux/macOS [here](https://github.com/tjhorner/e6dl/blob/master/install.sh). It automatically grabs the latest release (at the time of writing) and saves to `/usr/local/bin/e6dl`.
### From Source
Clone repo.
```bash
# Build e6dl then install it to /usr/local/bin
make install
```
You can also install it to a custom path of your choosing:
```bash
make install INSTALLPATH="/bin"
```
If you wanna get rid of it:
```bash
make uninstall
```
## Building
First, install Go.
Then just:
```bash
make build
```
`bin/e6dl` will magically appear. You can also just:
```bash
go run main.go
```
To distribute:
```bash
make dist
```
3 files will be spit out in the `dist` directory - one for Windows, one for macOS, and one for Linux.
You can also run `make dist-win`, `make dist-macos`, or `make dist-linux` to build them individually.
## Example
Here's a situation that uses every flag:
If you wanted to download a maximum of 20 posts with the tag `pokemon` in random order from e926 to the directory `./posts` with a maximum of 2 downloading at a time:
```bash
e6dl --tags "pokemon order:random" --out ./posts --limit 20 --concurrents 2 --sfw
```
## Usage
```
