CBL Tools Set up Tutorial

Step 1: Install Python (Windows)

  1. Download Python Installer:

    • Go to the official Python website.
    • Click on "Downloads" in the top menu.
    • Choose the latest version of Python for Windows.
    • The website will suggest the best version for your operating system. Click on the suggested download.

  2. Run the Installer:

    • Once the installer is downloaded, double-click on it to run.
    • Important: Check the box that says "Add Python to PATH" at the bottom of the installer window.
    • Click "Install Now" to start the installation.
    • The installer will automatically set up Python on your system.

  3. Verify Installation:

    • Open a command prompt (cmd) from the Start menu.
    • Type python --version or python3 --version and press Enter.
    • If Python is installed correctly, it will show the version number.

Step 2: Clone a GitHub Repository

  1. Install Git:

    • If you don't have Git installed, download it from the official website and install it.

  2. Open a Command Prompt:

    • Open a command prompt (cmd) from the Start menu.

  3. Navigate to the Directory:

    • Use the cd command to navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository. For example: 
      cd C:\code\projects

  4. Clone the Repository:

    • Use the git clone command followed by the URL of the GitHub repository you want to clone. For example: 
      git clone https://github.com/flips22/mylar-league.git

Step 3: Install Requirements from requirements.txt

  1. Navigate to the Repository:

    • In the command prompt, navigate to the directory where the repository was cloned using the cd command.

  2. Install Requirements:

    • The repository contains a requirements.txt file, use the following command to install the necessary packages: 
      pip install -r requirements.txt
    • This command will read the requirements.txt file and install the necessary Python packages.

Step 4: Configure config.ini

  1. Create custom config file:
    • The script will read either a config.ini or configPRIVATE.ini You can edit either file, but I would suggest, you copy config.ini to a file call configPRIVATE.ini and then enter in all your information there.
  2. Edit the customer config file:
    • Depending on which script you are using, will depend on how much of the config file you need to update
    • For CBL import (HTML version) you can fill out the mylar and comicvine sections. For CBL import (quick Version) you only need the mylar information.
