## Motivation 🤔

These videos on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram get MILLIONS of views across all platforms and require very little effort.
The only original thing being done is the editing and gathering of all materials...

... but what if we can automate that process? 🤔

## Disclaimers 🚨

- **At the moment**, this repository won't attempt to upload this content through this bot. It will give you a file that
  you will then have to upload manually. This is for the sake of avoiding any sort of community guideline issues.

## Requirements

- Python 3.7+
- Playwright (this should install automatically in installation)

## Installation 👩‍💻

1. Clone this repository
2. **Automatic Install**: Run `python main.py` and type 'yes' to activate the setup assistant.

3. Run `pip install -r requirements.txt`

4. Run `playwright install` and `playwright install-deps`. (if this fails try adding python -m to the front of the command)

5. Run `python main.py` (unless you chose automatic install, then the installer will automatically run main.py)
   required\*\*), visit [the Reddit Apps page.](https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps) TL;DR set up an app that is a "script".
6. Enjoy 😎

(Note if you got an error installing or running the bot try first rerunning the command with a three after the name e.g. python3 or pip3)
