How to install

Pre-compiled binaries

You can download a pre-compiled executable for Linux, MacOS and Windows operating systems, then you should copy that executable to a location from your $PATH env:

• Linux 64bit
• MacOS 64bit
• Windows 64bit

You might need to run chmod +x bibe_amd64 or chmod +x bibe_darwin.

Build Manually

If you prefer to build bibe manually, or a pre-compiled executable is not provided for your platform, then you can build bibe from the source:

• Install Rust
• Run cargo install bibe

If you only want to download a subset of the chapters, you can specify a range. For example, the following command will download the first 10 chapters under the specified directory:

bibe --url "https://www.webtoons.com/fr/thriller/hell-is-other-people/list?title_no=1841" \
     --begin 1
     --end 10
     --output ~/Documents/Books/Webtoons
