# Installation
|
|
|
1. Install .Net Framework 3.5
|
|
|
- This can be installed directly through Windows by going to Start > Turn Windows Features On or Off > check the checkbox next to “.NET Framework 3.5” > Click OK
|
|
|
2. Install [SeleniumBasic](https://github.com/florentbr/SeleniumBasic/releases/tag/v2.0.9.0) to control Chrome
|
|
|
- Make sure to “Run as Administrator” on the file when installing so that it gets installed to `C:\Program Files\SeleniumBasic`. Otherwise it will get installed to `\AppData\` and the Poster will not be able to connect to Selenium and to Chrome.
|
|
|
3. [Download latest ChromeDriver](https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads) for your Chrome version so Selenium can connect to Chrome for automation
|
|
|
- Open Chrome and type in `about::version` into the URL bar. The very first line will tell you what Chrome version you have
|
|
|
- After downloading, extract “chromedriver_win32.zip” and move the extracted chromedriver.exe to: `C:\Program Files\SeleniumBasic\chromedriver.exe`
|
|
|
- NOTE: The chromedriver will need to be re-downloaded whenever Chrome updates to keep up with API changes
|
|
|
4. Install the [LBRY Desktop Application](https://lbry.com/)
|
|
|
- Once installed log into your account, and also add your LBRY Channel ID to the settings.ini file
|
|
|
5. [Download the latest .exe of the Uploader](https://git.zinchuk.xyz/yuriy/Freedomain-Video-Uploader/releases)
|
|
|
- When run, the Uploader will automatically create the folders and files it requires in the directory it's run from.
|
|
|
|
|
|

# Uncaught Script Errors
|
|
|
I’ve done my best to catch any possible errors that might pop up and write functionality to handle them. But If an error happens that i haven't written resolves for, it will pop up a message box that looks like this. Please send me a screenshot so I can write a patch for the bug.

# Compiling to .exe from Source
|
|
|
1. [Install Autohotkey v1](https://www.autohotkey.com/download/)
|
|
|
2. `git clone` the project and then either run the `Compile Uploader to EXE.ahk` autohotkey script to automatically compile, or start up the AHK compiler that comes installed with Autohotkey and select the `Freedomain Video Uploader.ahk` and `\Assets\FreedomainVideo.ico` icon. |
