Quickstart guide ================ This guide will help you start using Animanager to watch and track your anime. However, as Animanager is geared toward advanced users, reading the rest of the documentation is highly recommended. Installation ------------ Install Animanager from PyPi:: $ pip3 install --user animanager Configuration ------------- Copy ``config.ini`` to ``~/.animanager/config.ini`` and edit it as necessary. In particular, you will want to set ``watchdir`` to the directory where you keep your anime. Running Animanager ------------------ Start Animanager:: $ animanager anime INFO:animanager.animedb:Migration needed, backing up database INFO:animanager.animedb:Migrating database INFO:animanager.db.migrations:Migrating database from 0 to 1 INFO:animanager.db.migrations:Migrating database from 1 to 2 Animanager 0.10.0 Copyright (C) 2015-2016 Allen Li This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type "gpl w".

You should have configured Animanager with the directory where you store your anime. First, set up a pattern for Animanager to find files for an anime. Animanager's default pattern works well:: A> register 1 A> show 1 AID: 8069 Title: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Type: TV Series Episodes: 1/12 Start date: 2011-01-07 End date: 2011-04-22 Complete: no Watching regexp: Mahou.*Shoujo.*Madoka.*Magica.*?\b(?P[0-9]+)(v[0-9]+)? Or you can specify manually:: A> register 1 madoka.*(?P[0-9]+).mkv A> show 1 AID: 8069 Title: Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Type: TV Series Episodes: 1/12 Start date: 2011-01-07 End date: 2011-04-22 Complete: no Watching regexp: madoka.*(?P[0-9]+).mkv Let's assume you have the next few episodes available in your anime directory (``Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica 02.mkv``):: A> search madoka # AID Title Type Episodes Complete Available --- ----- -------------------------- --------- ---------- ---------- ----------- 1 8069 Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica TV Series 1/12 2,3,4 A> watch 1 Animanager will start your configured video player and you can start watching immediately. After the video player exits, you will be prompted to bump the episode count.
