Captusi

Installation

To install the captusi command you will need npm. Once you have it, installing it is exrtemely easy. Because of renaming issues, you should still install the old package name, mp3-downloader. I will fix this in the future. Once installed, the command is ready to use. If you have ever trouble downloading some files, make sure you are running the newest version of captuse. You can update the tool with the same command as below by replacing installation with update.

$ sudo npm install -g mp3-downloader

After installation, you can check if Captusi is installed correctly and see if you are running the newest version. To do so, just call the captusi command, together with the --version option.

$ captusi --verison

Description

The most basic way of using captusi is by sending basic track queries. The first argument will always be passed as a whole and every word will be evaluated independently. This way it does not matter if you search for title, artist or both. An example command would look like the one below. If you encounter any problems while running the latest version, you might be able to find out what went wrong by running the tool in verbose mode. Simple adding --verbose to the command will do this for you.

$ captusi "Avicii Waiting for Love"
$ captusi "Avicii Waiting for Love" --verbose

When downloading tracks, they will be written to an mp3 file in the current directory. In case you would like to store them somewhere else (or just rename them) you can use the --output option to specify the path. Some extra examples are added below.

$ captusi "Hello Adele" --output track.mp3 --verbose
$ captusi "Avicii" --output avicii.mp3
$ captusi "Justin Bieber" --output trash.mp3 --verbose
