sliderdownloader_js

This is a script made using node.js, automating music download from http://slider.kz.
I'm not responsible if anyone use this script for illegal purposes.

You need to have node installed on your machine in order to use this script/app.

INSTALLATION / CONFIGURATION

In order to install and configure the app, you have the choice to use our custom installation script or not.

clone the repo git clone https://github.com/thentges/sliderdownloader_js.git
go to the created directory cd sliderdownloader_js

Now, you have two choices:

using the custom script [RECOMMENDED]

type chmod +x ./install.sh in order to make the script executable
run the script, and follow the instructions ./install.sh

creating configuration file by yourself

The script is working using a non-pushed config.json file, where we store some confidential or computer specific data. You can find a config.json.example at the project root:

{
    "txt_path": "./tracks.txt", // this is the path to the .txt file containing your song list
    "download_dir": "./", // this is the path to the directory where you want the tracks downloaded
    "mail": {
        "service": "gmail", // this is the nodemailer service you want to use to mail the recap (possibilities list here: https://nodemailer.com/smtp/well-known/)
        "username": "yourmail", // this is the email address you'll use to send the report
        "password": "yourpassword", // this is the password associated to this email
        "recipient": null // this is the email address you want to send the recap to. If null, the recap will be sent to the sender address
    },
    "pref": {
        "mail": true, // if you want to receive a report mail everytime the program download something, false if not
        "notif": true // if you want to get notifications when the program starts and ends, false if not
    }
}

duplicate the config.json.example as config.json
change the values of the newly created config.json according to your needs
type npm install in order to install the dependencies

HOW TO USE IT

Scheduling it with crontab [RECOMMENDED]

If you are using a linux or mac os x computer, we recommend you to schedule this script using crontab.
Here is how you can do it easily:

open your command line interface
type crontab -e or env EDITOR=nano crontab -e if it's opening with vim and you prefer nano
in the opened file, just add a line like:

    * * * * * {your_dir}/run.sh

replace the 5 stars with the crontab command you like
If you don't know how to configure a cron, you can visit this link to do it easily.

replace {your_dir} with the path to the cloned directory

or just run it manually when you want

To run it manually you just have to run the index.js file, you can type:

node index.js
npm start or
./run.sh
