Installation Instructions - evilhero/mylar3 GitHub Wiki

Requirements

  • At least Python version 3.8.1 - most heavily tested with 3.9.4 (2.x is not supported). If you don't want to bork your system (ie. *nix), read about pyenv.
  • Unrar (linux/MacOS) or winRaR (windows) are required for ComicTagger integration to work. If Unrar/winRaR is not in the system path, the full path to the binary must be specified in the rar_exe_path field in .ComicTagger/settings located in either the root of Mylar or the user's home directory.
  • ComicVine API key (found here) - program will have limited to no functionality without it

Installation

  • from the root of the mylar installation (the location where you installed Mylar to), run the following command pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install all required dependencies not included.
  • Note Windows users may need to run py -m pip install -r requirements.txt if the above fails.
  • Prefer Docker? Take a look over here!

How to start Mylar

Depending on your version of python, and how many different versions you have installed on your machine - executing the python command itself may be different than normal.

Typically this is either python or python3 - however in some cases, python3.9 or python39 may also work (as an example if you had python3.9 installed, other versions you would just change out the 3.9/39 for that version). Note that this will normally coincide with the pip command above - python3 = pip3, python3.9 = pip3.9, python = pip, etc

From a command prompt/shell, and from within the Mylar program directory - type in <python executable> Mylar.py where python executable is python, python3,etc as previously mentioned above
