README for clive
----------------

clive is a command line utility for extracting videos from Youtube and other
video-sharing websites. It was written to bypass the Adobe Flash requirement
to view the hosted videos.

Prerequisites
-------------

See Makefile.PL file.


Optional modules
----------------

* BerkeleyDB
  - If not installed, clive cache features will be disabled

* Term::ReadKey
  - If not installed, clive will not resize progressbar to
  match terminal width


Installation
------------

Be sure to remove any previous versions of clive first.

INSTALL_BASE can be passed into Makefile.PL to change where clive will
be installed. For example:

  perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/usr/local

  perl Makefile.PL
  make
  make test # optional
  make install

Notes
-----

* "make test" will use ~/.cliverc settings. You can set NO_INTERNET
environment variable to skip the host tests.

* If you want to try clive without installing it first:
  cd lib; ../bin/clive URL
