Run

caution

Translated by GPT-4.

In general, you only need to execute the following each time you run:

Virtual Environment Disabled

python main.py <argument 1> <argument 2> ...

Virtual Environment Enabled

Linux (bash)

/path/to/EhFavDownloader/venv/bin/python main.py <argument 1> <argument 2> ...

Windows (PowerShell)

X:\path\to\EhFavDownloader\venv\Scripts\python main.py <argument 1> <argument 2> ...

Why not activate the virtual environment?

Considering the possible use case of executing scheduled tasks, it is recommended to execute python in the virtual environment using an absolute path rather than first activating the virtual environment and then executing python.

That's all.

tip

Arguments are optional

The optional arguments are shown in the table below.

Argument	Description
--download-only or -d	Download only the galleries already in the database, do not update gallery data from favorites.
--metadata-full-update	Fully update metadata when retrieving favorites. This will slow down traversal speed, enable this item only when you want to update metadata.
--update-cbz or -u	Update the metadata of CBZ files. Note that this will not pack existing scattered image files into CBZ files.
--just-detect-cbz	When the database is lost, EhFavDownloader will prompt you whether to redownload when it detects files larger than 100KiB in the download directory. Use this option to ignore the prompt and skip the download.
