Run FireDM without any installation (recommended)

• Windows portable version (Download!):
  available in .zip format.
  unzip, and run from FireDM.exe, no installation required.

• Linux portable version (Download!):
  available in .AppImage format.
  download file, then mark it as executable, and run it, no installation required,tested on ubuntu, mint, and manjaro.
  note: ffmpeg is not included and must be installed separately if not exist
  

  mark file as executable by right clicking the file> Properties> Permissions> Allow executing file as a program,or from terminal bychmod +x FireDM_xxx.AppImage
  

  To check for ffmpeg use this command:

   which ffmpeg# expected output if installed /usr/bin/ffmpeg

  if ffmpeg is missing you can install it bysudo apt install ffmpeg on debian based orsudo pacman -S ffmpegon Arch based distros.

1- check python version (minimum version required is 3.6):python3 --version

2- install required packages first:

• Linux, ubuntu:
  

sudo apt install ffmpeg libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev python3-pip python3-pil python3-pil.imagetk python3-tk python3-dbus gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1sudo apt install fonts-symbola fonts-linuxlibertine fonts-inconsolata fonts-emojione

3- install firedm using pip:

python3 -m pip install firedm --user --upgrade --no-cache

1- check python version (minimum version required is 3.6):python3 --version

3- run below code to clone this repo, create virtual environment, install requirements, create launch script, and finally run FireDM

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/firedm/FireDM.gitpython3 -m venv ./.envsource ./.env/bin/activatepython3 -m pip install -r ./FireDM/requirements.txtecho"source ./.env/bin/activatepython3 ./FireDM/firedm.py\$@"> firedm.shchmod +x ./firedm.sh./firedm.sh

optionally create .desktop file and add FireDM to your applications

• Firedm available for arch linux on AURhttps://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firedm/ , Special Thanks to qontinuum for maintaining this package.

• Linux X-server will raise an error if some fonts are missing especially emoji fonts, for more info refer toissue #200.

• Mac - Tkinter, as mentioned in "python.org" the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.5 has serious bugs that can cause application crashes. If you wish to use Tkinter, do not use the Apple-supplied Pythons. Instead, install and use a newer version of Python from python.org or a third-party distributor that supplies or links with a newer version of Tcl/Tk.
  refer toissue #113

• systray icon: depends on Gtk+3 and AppIndicator3 on linux, please refer to your distro guides on how to install these packages if you need systray to run properly

• Python 3.6+: tested with python 3.6 on windows, and 3.7, 3.8 on linux

• tkinter

• ffmpeg : for merging audio with youtube DASH videos "it will be installed automatically on windows"

• Fonts: (Linux X-server will raise an error if some fonts are missing especially emoji fonts, below are therecommended fonts to be installed, for more info refer toissue #200.)

• pycurl: is a Python interface to libcurl / curl as our download engine,

• youtube_dl: famous youtube downloader, limited use for meta information extraction only but videos are downloaded using pycurl

• yt_dlp: a fork of youtube-dlc which is inturn a fork of youtube-dl

• certifi: required by 'pycurl' for validating the trustworthiness of SSL certificates,

• plyer: for systray area notification.

• awesometkinter: forapplication gui.

• pillow: imaging library for python

• pystray: for systray icon

Note for pycurl:
for windows users who wants to run from source or use pip:unfortunately, pycurl removed binary versions for windows and this link "https://dl.bintray.com/pycurl/pycurl/" is now dead, and one has to build pycurl from source which is not an easy task, details are herehttp://pycurl.io/docs/latest/install.html#windowsnormal pip install i.epython -m pip install pycurl probably will fail on windows, your best choice is to use FireDM standalone/portable exe version.

for linux users:there is no issues, since most linux distros have curl preinstalled, so pycurl will link with libcurl library to get built with no issues, checked with python versions 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8 working with no problems.

As said,"if the product is free, then you are the product", mostfree closed-source software collect data about you, some of them aretoxic and plant trojans/spy-wares in your system, with open source,nothing hidden, and source code exposed to thousands of programmers, noone can play dirty games.

Need to mention, this project is never made to compete with otherdownload managers, it is just a "hopefully useful" addition.
