Dependencies Installation

This script can run on multiple Operating Systems. However, if you're using whatever OS other than windows, then you might demand to install certain things earlier hand to go this script working.

Linux/Debian :

First, make certain your organization is updated :

              sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath libssl-dev libxft-dev                          

Grab Dependencies for PhantomJS (most important) :

              sudo apt-become install libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev                          

Catch the suitable tar.bz2 file from this link Extract the contents of this tar.bz2 file you just downloaded. Open up a terminal and follow the commands.

• Don't forget the change the name of the file(south) mentioned here with the ones that you lot downloaded.There might be a newer version when you download

              cd /Name/of_the/directory/that/contains/the/tar_bz2/file consign PHANTOM_JS="phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64" sudo tar xvjf $PHANTOM_JS.tar.bz2                          

Once downloaded, move Phantomjs binder to /usr/local/share/ and create a symlink:

              sudo mv $PHANTOM_JS /usr/local/share sudo ln -sf /usr/local/share/$PHANTOM_JS/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin                          

If none of these commands gave mistake(s), PhantomJS should exist installed in your Linux/Debian systems just fine. You can check it past inbound this control in any terminal :

Windows :

If you're on windows, then it is recommended to download the windows binary for this script. If y'all employ the windows binary, you lot don't demand to install anything. Merely, if for some weird reason you want to use Python script instead, then follow these steps :

• Install Python > ii.7.6. Download the desired installer from here.

• Add it in the organization path (if not already added).

• If you're using python >ii.vii.9, you don't need to install PIP. Yet, if you don't take pip installed and added in windows path, so do so by following this little tutorial.

• Download this text file and put it in some directory/folder.

• Open up Command Prompt and scan to the directory where y'all downloaded your requiremenets.txt file and run this command :

  pip install -r requirements.txt

• It should install the required external libraries.

• Download PhantomJS : http://phantomjs.org/download.html

Well, if everything came up good without any error(south), and then y'all're skilful to go!

Mac OS X :

Mac Bone Ten users will have to fetch their version of PhantomJS ,Python and Pip.

• Python installation guide : http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/install/osx/
• Pip installation guide : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17271319/installing-pip-on-mac-os-x
• PhantomJS Mac Binary : http://phantomjs.org/download.html (Download the latest build for your Os)

After downloading and installing these, you need to add together PIP,Python and PhantomJS in your path. You tin can wait it upward on internet to follow the guides to achieve this.

I'd manually show it here how to practise it, merely I don't have a Mac OS X system. So, y'all'll demand to follow those links.

Installation

After installing and setting upward all the dependencies in your Operating Arrangement, you lot're practiced to go and use this script. The instructions for all the OS would remain aforementioned. Download this python file and put information technology in a folder somewhere in your organisation.

For windows and Mac Bone X, you'll need to re-create phantomJS in the directory of this script. Pregnant, copy the phantomJS binary that you downloaded in to the folder where you're kept this readcomic.py file.

Every bit for Linux/Debain users, we've already put the binary in the appropriate identify. Hence, you don't need to re-create the PhantomJS binary in the folder.

Notation: Windows users can put the PhantomJS.exe somewhere safe in your arrangement and add the path to it in your system path.

Settings.ini File

Please Read these instructions advisedly for updating the settings for the script.

Quality represents which quality paradigm yous desire to download. Low Quality or High Quality. Alter this parameter to "LQ","HQ","Low Quality" or "Loftier Quality". By default, "HQ" is ready.

Order represents which ISSUE you want to download start. Latest uploaded Issue for a series or the oldest uploaded Issue. Selection for this parameter are "Former","Latest","New" or "Initial". Initial means the oldest chapter.

There are various options yous can choose to write. Write either of them. By default, the settings are to download "High Quality" images, while downloading the "Oldest" Issue first.

Bank check the "Settings.ini" file in this repo. and update it to your requirements (if needed).

Windows Binary

It is recommended that windows users use this binary to relieve both, your head and fourth dimension from installing all the dependencies. You can download the binary and outset using the script right off the bat. Grab the respective binaries from the links below :

• x86 Systems : COMING Presently
• x64 Systems : CLICK ME

Usage

Using the script is pretty simple. Execute the .py or the .exe file and paste the link to the Issue/SERIES you want to download.

If you desire to download chapters/issue inside a range, yous'll take to specify a range. Permit's say you want to download only chapters from chapter twenty to chapter xxx from a certain series, you lot can do and so by entering the range when asked. If you want to download all the chapter from a show, then just enter none,all or null when asked about it.

For now, permit'southward just download all the chapter from this series. Here's what yous'll exercise :

• Open up command prompt/Terminal and scan to the directory that have this script.

Note : Windows users tin can hold down shift and right click anywhere in the area and select "open command prompt here".

• Blazon "ReadComicOnline Downloader.exe" (with quotes) if you downloaded windows binary. Type readcomic.py, if you're using .py file instead.
• Press ENTER/RETURN.
• Enter the URL to the whole series, if you desire to download all the affiliate (or chapters within a range) or, if y'all want to download a detail chapter, enter the URL to that.
• Press ENTER/Render.
• If y'all're downloading a particular chapter, only sit back and wait till it downloads everything.
• Notwithstanding, if you're downloadig whole serial or ranged chapters, y'all got more work to practise. If y'all're downloading all or ranged chapters, follow along. Single Affiliate downloaders should be reading the comic at present ;)
• Now, the script should ask for the range. If you lot want to download chapters inside a range, follow the steps from How To Enter Range section now. Merely, if yous're downloading everything, enter null,none or all in this range question.
• Your job is done. It should download everything.

Look at the GIF epitome below to see it all in action.

Downloading Single Consequence

Downloading All The Chapters

How to Enter Range

Range is to exist entered in the following syntax : 4-half dozen

This tells the script that you lot desire to download affiliate iv to chapter 6 (both included).

Follow the first 7 steps mention in the USAGE section and and so carry on from here:

• And so, when it asks for yous to enter range, you're going to enter from where to where you want to download capacity. Permit'south say yous desire to download from chapter five to chapter 10. Y'all'll enter 5-x.
• Now, it'll ask you whether those are Issue or Almanac. Readcomic have two things, Almanac chapters and Event Chapters. So, check on that site whether it is an Annual or a normal Issue. It'south safety to enter Upshot in most cases.
• Press ENTER/RETURN and it'll download it.

Downloading Chapters Inside A Certain Range

Features

Since this is a very elementary and basic script, at the current moment, information technology has limited features :

• Downloads all the Issues available for a serial.

• Puts the files in respective directories afterwards downloading the files.

• Downloads High Quality images.

• Skips the file if information technology already exists in the path.

• Selection to choose Quality of Images

• Option to download Latest or Older releases.

• Option to download certain chapters within a range.

Known Problems/Bugs

Because readcomiconline.to is behind CloudFlare, there's a limit to visit the site. If you lot're downloading a serial with a lot of Issues or chapters, the script will halt mid-way, because cloudflare needs a 'Man Cheque'. Case URL to replicate this issue : http://readcomiconline.to/Comic/The-Amazing-Spider-Man-1963

Thanks to Gizmo179 for notifying me about the issue. Currently there's nothing I tin can do about it.

Workaround for this Issue is by opening the website via your browser and verifying manually and then downloading chapters within a range. If that doesn't work, endeavour downloading the chapters within a range after some time.

CHANGELOG

• Re-Wrote the whole script for better understanding and flow.

• Downloading of all the Problems available for a series.

• Corresponding Directories for the series and an Issue.

• File skipping, if the file already exists.

• Fault Log File creation.

• Option to download Latest or Older releases.

• Selection to choose Quality of Images.

• File name Fix and some Minor Issues Fix

• Annual Issues are downloaded properly at present.

• Option to download certain chapters within a range.

• Gear up for #iv
