python3 setup.py installSome features require ffmpeg which can be installed through most package managers or from ffmpeg.org/download.html.
audiobook-dl uses Netscape cookie files for authentication in most cases. I use this extension to export my cookies from the browser.
Cookies can be placed in current dir as cookies.txt or be given with the
--cookie argument.
Some sources support authentication through login with
username and password (and sometimes library). Use the --username and
--password arguments or enter them through an interactive prompt.
audiobook-dl -c <cookie file> <url>Most sites require you to provide the listening page not not just the information page

By default, audiobook-dl saves all audiobooks to {title} relative to the
current path. This can be changed with the --output argument. Path can be
customized by audiobook with the following fields:
titleauthorseriesnarratorNot all fields are available for all audiobooks.
The file extension can be changed with the --output-format argument.
audiobook-dl can be configured using a configuration file, which should be placed at:

/Users/$user/Library/Application Support/audiobook-dl/audiobook-dl.toml
$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/audiobook-dl/audiobook-dl.toml
Source credentials can be provided in the configuration file:
[sources.yourcloudlibrary]

library = "hometown"Cookie files can be specified in a similar way:
[sources.everand]
cookie_file = "./everand_cookies.txt"Paths are relative to the configuration directory.
