Use PyInstaller to bundle You-Get into a single executable for Windows.

Notice: This is NOT the official build.

Download the latest build executable from Releases Page.

If something goes wrong when using the latest released executable, feel free to submit an issue. If you don't have a GitHub account, leave a message in this page. You'd better attach the debug info. Get the detailed error report by adding the --debug option:

you-get --debug https://your.video/url/here

For SSL related issues, try to use -k option:

you-get -k --debug https://your.video/url/here

See below if you want to bundle and build by yourself.

The following dependencies are required and must be installed separately.

1. Python 3.7-3.9
   According to the README of PyInstaller, the supported Python version is 3.5-3.9 now (Nov. 18th, 2020). To create a 32-bit executable, run PyInstaller under a 32-bit Python.

2. PyInstaller

   $ pip install pyinstaller

3. Git

$ git clone https://github.com/LussacZheng/you-get.exe.git

There are several batchfiles, just click them by the following order:

1. Run devscripts/init.bat .
   (It will clone the you-get repository by git clone . If you want to use proxy when cloning, edit devscripts/use-proxy.conf according to the sample.)
2. After initialization, run build.bat .
3. Find the executable in dist/ folder.

To re-build after the new release of You-Get:

1. Make sure the scripts of this repository is up to date:

   $ git pull

   If You-Get modified the src/you_get/extractors/__init__.py and I have not followed up and submitted in time, you need to manually edit repository/_extractors/__init__.py according to this .

2. Run devscripts/update.bat .
   (It also reads the proxy settings from devscripts/use-proxy.conf )

3. Run build.bat.

4. Find the executable in dist/ folder.

See more information in doc folder.

• Introduce Poetry for dependency management.
• Rewrite build.bat with Python. (maybe)
• Use GitHub Action to build and release.
