MacOS Instructions

To run the script on a Mac, you'll have to download and install Python (the programming language the app was made with).

1. Go to https://www.python.org/downloads/ and download whatever the latest version is

2. Run the installation .pkg file from the downloads folder (or wherever you put it)

3. When running the installer, you can just continue through keeping all the default options.

4. Go to the latest on the Release Page and download the "Source Code (Zip)" folder. Extract it if necessary.

5. Next you have to enable a MacOS feature to let you open the Terminal through the right-click menu. To enable this feature, you can follow the instructions in this article: https://www.maketecheasier.com/launch-terminal-current-folder-mac/

• Or find the setting here yourself: System Preferences > Keyboard > 'Shortcuts' Tab > 'Services' in left-hand menu > Scroll down to find 'New Terminal At Folder' and check the box

6. Within the downloads folder (or wherever), "Right Click" (Control + Click) on the folder with the files in it. Go down to Services > Click "New Terminal at Folder".

• Now the terminal should open and show the downloaded folder as being active.

7. Now we need to install the necessary modules to run the Python program. Run pip3 install -r requirements.txt

• If it doesn't spit out a whole bunch of errors messages, it should be good

8. Now you can run the program by running: python3 YTSpammerPurge.py

• You can rename the .py script file to something more shorter if you want
• Whenever you want to run it again, open the terminal to that folder the same way by Right Clicking > Services > New Terminal at Folder

9. Remember, you will need to get an API key in the form of a client_secrets.json file for the program to work.
