If you have OS X and Homebrew you can install with:

brew install svtplay-dl

svtplay-dl is available in Debian in Jessie and later and Ubuntu in 14.04 and later, which means you can install it using apt:

apt-get install svtplay-dl

… as root.

You can download windows binaries from svtplay-dl.se

If you want to build your own windows binaries:

1. Install pyinstaller 3.1.1 (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyInstaller/3.1.1)
2. Follow the steps listed under From source

3. Run

pyinstaller.exe --noupx --onefile c:\path\to\svtplay-dl-clone\spec\svtplay-dl.spec  (where you replace the path with the correct one)

4. Find binary in dist folder.

pip install svtplay-dl

If packaging isn’t available for your operating system, or you want to use a non-released version, you’ll want to install from source. Use git to download the sources:

git clone git://github.com/spaam/svtplay-dl
