README
The free and open-source Download Manager written in pure Python Status | Quick Start | Advanced Installation | Usage | Docker Images | Troubleshooting | Licensing | Credits
Status
pyLoad Next is the newest version of pyLoad.
Developed in the main branch on GitHub and deployed as pyload-ng
on PyPI, works on Python 3.6+ and is currently in alpha phase.
The old stable version of pyLoad resides in the stable branch and is compatible with Python 2 only.
Quick Start
Open a terminal window and install pyLoad typing:
pip install --pre pyload-ng[all]
To start pyLoad use the command:
pyload
See the usage section for information on all available options.
If you want to uninstall pyLoad:
pip uninstall pyload-ng
Advanced Installation
Stable Release
Get the latest stable release of pyLoad:
pip install pyload-ng
Note: No stable release is available. pyLoad is still in pre-release phase.
Available modules
pyload.core
: pyLoad's heart.pyload.plugins
: the collection of officially supported plugins for pyLoad.pyload.webui
: a web interface to interact with pyLoad.
Development Release
You can force the installation of the latest development release of pyLoad,
appending the option --pre
to the installation command:
pip install --pre pyload-ng
Do not use development releases in production. Unexpected crashes may occur.
Extra Dependencies
Extra dependencies are non-essential packages that extend or unlock some features of pyLoad.
To install them you have to append a specific tag name to the installation command.
Available tags
plugins
: packages required by some plugins to work.build
: packages required to build translations.all
: shortcut to apply all available tags.
You can use a tag in this way:
pip install pyload-ng[plugins]
Or group more together:
pip install pyload-ng[plugins][build]
Build Translations
Note: You don't have to build the translations files if you installed pyLoad through
pip
, because they're already included.
Use the command build_locale
to retrieve and build the latest locale files (translations):
python setup.py build_locale
Invoke build_locale
before building the package (eg. bdist_wheel
).
Usage
usage: pyload [-h] [--version] [-d] [--userdir USERDIR] [--tempdir TEMPDIR]

Troubleshooting
pip not found
Retry replacing the command pip
with pip3
:
pip3 install pyload-ng
If fails again, you may not have the Python interpreter or the pip package manager installed on your system.
Try reinstalling Python to fix this issue.
Visit https://www.python.org/downloads to get the proper Python 3 release for your system.
pyload-ng not found
Check the version of the Python interpreters installed on your system.
To show the version of your default Python interpreter, type the command:
python --version
If the version is too old, try to upgrage Python, then you can retry to install pyLoad.
Python releases below version 3.6 are not supported!
Setuptools is too old
To upgrade the setuptools
package, type the command:
pip install --upgrade setuptools
Permission denied
Under Unix-based systems, try to install pyLoad with root privileges.
Prefix the installation/uninstallation command with sudo
:
sudo pip install pyload-ng
sudo pip uninstall pyload-ng
Under Windows systems, open a Command Prompt as administrator to install pyLoad with root privileges.
You can also try to install the pyload-ng
