comic updater, mangafied

cum (comic updater, mangafied) is a tool designed for automated manga downloads from various online manga aggregate sites. It is inspired by some of the popular package managers used with Linux distributions and OS X. The file naming scheme is partially based Daiz's Manga Naming Scheme.

The easiest way to install the latest release of cum is by downloading and installing it from Python Package Index with the command

pip install cum

If you want to get the latest and (possibly) the greatest, you can install the master branch version with

pip install git+https://github.com/Hamuko/cum

Users of Arch Linux can install release versions from the AUR.

Please note that cum currently requires Python 3.3 or newer.

To print out a list of available commands, use cum --help. For help with a particular command, use cum COMMAND --help.

Configuration is stored at ~/.cum/config.json (%APPDATA%\cum\config.json for Windows) and overwrites the following default values. cum will not write login information supplied by the user at run-time back to the config file, but will store session cookies if any exist. Configuration can get read with the command cum config get [SETTING] and set using cum config set [SETTING] [VALUE].
