Go to the [Releases](https://github.com/mathismqn/godeez/releases) page. 2. Download the appropriate binary for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). 3. Move the binary to a directory included in $PATH for easy access (optional but recommended). Example (Linux/macOS): ```bash # Move the downloaded binary to /usr/local/bin for easy access from anywhere mv godeez-1.0.0-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/godeez ``` ## Configuration The first time you run **GoDeez**, a configuration file named .godeez will be automatically generated in your home directory ($HOME on Linux/macOS, %USERPROFILE% on Windows). This configuration file contains several important variables that you need to fill out manually. Below are the steps for retrieving and setting each variable. ### Steps to configure 1. Run the application for the first time: This generates the .godeez configuration file in your home directory. 2. Edit the configuration file: Open the .godeez file with a text editor to set the required variables. ### Variables to configure Here are the key variables you need to set in the .godeez file: 1. `arl_cookie` * **What is it?**: The arl_cookie is a session cookie used for authentication with Deezer. Without this cookie, the downloader cannot access your account to retrieve playlists, albums, or songs. * **How to retrieve it**: 1. Open your browser and log in to your Deezer account. 2. Open the Developer Tools (right-click on the page and select “Inspect” or press F12). 3. Navigate to the Application tab (in Chrome/Edge) or Storage tab (in Firefox). 4. In the left panel, look for Cookies and select `https://www.deezer.com`. 5. Find the arl cookie and copy its value. 2. `license_token` * **What is it?**: The license_token is required to access Deezer’s media URLs for downloading songs. This token is found in the network requests your browser makes when playing a song. * **How to retrieve it**: 1. Open Developer Tools in your browser (right-click on the page and select “Inspect” or press F12). 2. Go to the Network tab. 3. Start playing a song on Deezer and look for a request to `https://media.deezer.com/v1/get_url`. 4. Select the request and in the Request Data section, find the license_token. 5. Copy the license_token value. 3. `secret_key` * **What is it?**: The secret_key is a cryptographic value used alongside the iv to decrypt Deezer’s media files. * **How to retrieve it?**: While we cannot provide the specific secret_key in this documentation, it can be found online through various sources or developer communities that focus on Deezer. 4. `iv` * **What is it?**: This is another cryptographic variable needed to decrypt media streams from Deezer. * **How to retrieve it?**: The iv can be found in the [.example-config](https://github.com/mathismqn/godeez/blob/main/.example-config) file included with this project. ## Usage ### CLI Overview When you run **godeez** without any additional commands, you’ll see a general help menu: ```bash GoDeez is a tool to download music from Deezer Usage: godeez [command] Available Commands: completion Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell download Download songs from Deezer help Help about any command Flags: --config string config file (default is $HOME/.godeez) -h, --help help for godeez Use "godeez [command] --help" for more information about a command. ``` This provides an overview of the available commands and flags.
