Getting Started

requirements: python (≥3.8)
python3-venv
bash
git
exiftool
imagemagick
libmediainfo-dev

^{(An earlier version (≥3.5) of Python might also work but no guaranty)}

sudo apt install -y python3 python3-venv bash git exiftool imagemagick libmediainfo-dev

Setup

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fileporter/fileporter/main/scripts/installer | bash

it is also possible to specify the directory name

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fileporter/fileporter/main/scripts/installer | bash -s -- {directory-name}

after that you have to add the following line to ~/.bashrc. (the correct line is printed by the installer)

source /path/to/the/repo/fileporter/scripts/bashrc

this adds the fileporter-executable to the path, adds autocompletion and adds a man fileporter page.

To start fileporter you can simply run the fileporter command anywhere your want (fileporter [ARGS])
