Separate download from link creation (was: Error launching danker.sh)

[AlessandroCalio]

Hi, I'm interested in your project but I have this error.

I'm using Debian 10, I have created a venv and installed the packages necessary for running your project.
What i'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Dear Alessandro,

It looks like you need to install the curl command (sudo apt-get install curl). I was assuming that it is available on most Linux systems.

Cheers
Andreas

Thanks a lot, I'm not a very experienced linux user. I noticed that I was having dependency issues with the curl package and reinstalled it. Now is seems working :) .

Sorry for the off topic but i also wanted to tell you that it would be very convenient to launch danker on user-chosen dumps.
Is it already possible?

[athalhammer]

You mean specifying a date in addition to the language edition (e.g., 2019-06-01)?

[AlessandroCalio]

Exactly, or give the possibility to input an already downloaded dump.

[athalhammer]

This has been implemented now and a folder as well as an alternative dumpdate can be specified. E.g. for an old english dump:

./danker.sh en --project wiki --dump-date 20120101 --folder myfolder
