===============================
comp - Curses Omni Media Player
===============================

This program is a curses front-end for mpv and youtube-dl.

.. image:: doc/screenshot.png

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

comp requires Python 3.5+ with ``curses`` module (only available on Unix-like
OSes such as GNU/Linux and the BSDs) and ``libmpv``. It also depends on
``python-mpv`` and ``youtube-dl`` but the setup program will automatically 
install them if they are missing.

Using pip
^^^^^^^^^

Python 2 is still the default on most distributions so the command would be
``pip3 install comp``. You can use the ``--user`` flag to avoid system-wide
installation.

Using setup.py
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To install the latest version or test the development branch (called
``bachelor``, in contrast to ``master``), you'll need to do it manually::

   git clone https://github.com/McSinyx/comp.git
   cd comp
   git checkout bachelor # usually master is synced with the PyPI repo
   ./setup.py install -e .

Note ``setup.py`` uses ``setuptools`` which is a third-party module and can be
install using ``pip3``.
