Description
This is a simple python application I wrote to download every XKCD Comic or grab a specific comic. It should work on any OS that python can run on, although its only been tested in Linux.
Launching
To launch the XKMD in linux (assuming your using a GUI) go to the folder which the .zip file was downloaded to, extract the contents. Then open the terminal and type
cd /path/to/xkmd/folder
then type
python XKMD.py
Please note you need python installed in order to run this script. And if your having troubles look at
www.python.org.
Usage
Simple instructions are shown when you boot the script, But I will recap them here anyway. Once you load the script (See above for how to run in linux) you will be asked to enter a command, either -m, -u, -g, or -q to quit.
-m Will do a mass download of every XKCD comic and also create an update file so when you run -u it knows which comic you last downloaded
-u Will do an update, so any comics that have been released since your last update or when you did the mass download will be downloaded
-g Will ask you for a specific comic number, to find a comics number look at the comics url and it would be something like www.xkcd.com/number/ and where number is, that is what you would enter. And then it will download just that comic
-q Will exit the application
