## About ##
Scribd-dl helps downloading documents on [scribd.com](https://www.scribd.com/) and [slideshare.net](https://www.slideshare.net/) without membership / sign-in.  

## Prerequisites ##
To use Scridb-dl, you need to install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/). It is recommended that you use the latest LTS version available.  

> Please install Node.js using pre-built installers for your platform. You may encounter incompatibility issues with different development tools otherwise.  

To check that Node.js was installed correctly, type the following commands in your terminal client:  
```console
node -v
npm -v
```
The commands should print the versions of Node.js and npm accordingly.  

## Setup ##
1. Download repository  
```console
git clone https://github.com/rkwyu/scribd-dl
```

npm install
```

## Configuration ##
Configuration can be altered in `config.ini`.

`rendertime` is the waiting time in millisecond for single page rendering in [scribd.com](https://www.scribd.com/), it is only applicable for `default` mode.  
`output` is the ouput directory for generated .pdf files.

## Development Plan ##
