First steps after installation

The application can extract images from Imgur albums / galleries, and from Tumblr posts too. These features only work if you have the necessary API keys.

You can acquire these keys for free.

Once you have the keys, set them as environment variables.

Note that the app. will work without these API keys too, but in that case Imgur and Tumblr links won't be processed. So it is highly recommended that you get these keys.

Linux

For instance, under Linux, add the following lines to the end of your ~/.bashrc file:

TUMBLR_API_KEY=...

IMGUR_CLIENT_ID=...
IMGUR_CLIENT_SECRET=...

Windows

The process is similar. Here is a short video that shows you how to set environment variables.
