A cli to browse and watch anime.

Setup

Downloading necessary apps

• Download Termux from F-Droid.

pkg install git curl  

• Run this command to install youtube-dl on Termux:

termux-setup-storage ; curl -s -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shukryshuk/androidydl/master/youtubedl.sh | bash

termux-setup-storage asks for storage permissions so that Termux can access the shared storage in your device.
