> **🎥** Watch the video on [YouTube](https://youtu.be/mkZsaDA2JnA?si=pNne3MnluRVkWQbE).

## Installation 📥

`MoneyPrinter` requires Python 3.11 to run effectively. If you don't have Python installed, you can download it from [here](https://www.python.org/downloads/).

After you finished installing Python, you can install `MoneyPrinter` by following the steps below:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/FujiwaraChoki/MoneyPrinter.git
cd MoneyPrinter

# Install requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Copy .env.example and fill out values
cp .env.example .env

# Run the backend server
cd Backend
python main.py

# Run the frontend server
cd ../Frontend
python -m http.server 3000
```

See [`.env.example`](.env.example) for the required environment variables.

If you need help, open [EnvironmentVariables.md](EnvironmentVariables.md) for more information.

## Usage 🛠️

1. Copy the `.env.example` file to `.env` and fill in the required values
1. Open `http://localhost:3000` in your browser
1. Enter a topic to talk about
1. Click on the "Generate" button
1. Wait for the video to be generated
1. The video's location is `MoneyPrinter/output.mp4`

## Music 🎵

To use your own music, compress all your MP3 Files into a ZIP file and upload it somewhere. Provide the link to the ZIP file in the Frontend.

It is recommended to use Services such as [Filebin](https://filebin.net) to upload your ZIP file. If you decide to use Filebin, provide the Frontend with the absolute path to the ZIP file by using More -> Download File, e.g. (use this [Popular TT songs ZIP](https://filebin.net/klylrens0uk2pnrg/drive-download-20240209T180019Z-001.zip), not this [Popular TT songs](https://filebin.net/2avx134kdibc4c3q))

You can also just move your MP3 files into the `Songs` folder. 

## Fonts 🅰

Add your fonts to the `fonts/` folder, and load them by specifying the font name on line `124` in `Backend/video.py`.

## Automatic YouTube Uploading 🎥

MoneyPrinter now includes functionality to automatically upload generated videos to YouTube.

To use this feature, you need to:

1. Create a project inside your Google Cloud Platform -> [GCP](https://console.cloud.google.com/).
1. Obtain `client_secret.json` from the project and add it to the Backend/ directory.
1. Enable the YouTube v3 API in your project -> [GCP-API-Library](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/youtube.googleapis.com)
1. Create an `OAuth consent screen` and add yourself (the account of your YouTube channel) to the testers.
1. Enable the following scopes in the `OAuth consent screen` for your project:

```
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube'
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload'
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtubepartner'
```

After this, you can generate the videos and you will be prompted to authenticate yourself.

The authentication process creates and stores a `main.py-oauth2.json` file inside the Backend/ directory. Keep this file to maintain authentication, or delete it to re-authenticate (for example, with a different account).

Videos are uploaded as private by default. For a completely automated workflow, change the privacyStatus in main.py to your desired setting ("public", "private", or "unlisted").

For videos that have been locked as private due to upload via an unverified API service, you will not be able to appeal. You’ll need to re-upload the video via a verified API service or via the YouTube app/site. The unverified API service can also apply for an API audit. So make sure to verify your API, see [OAuth App Verification Help Center](https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/13463073) for more information.

## FAQ 🤔

### How do I get the TikTok session ID?

You can obtain your TikTok session ID by logging into TikTok in your browser and copying the value of the `sessionid` cookie.

### My ImageMagick binary is not being detected

Make sure you set your path to the ImageMagick binary correctly in the `.env` file, it should look something like this:

```env
IMAGEMAGICK_BINARY="C:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick-7.1.0-Q16\\magick.exe"
```

Don't forget to use double backslashes (`\\`) in the path, instead of one.

### I can't install `playsound`: Wheel failed to build

If you're having trouble installing `playsound`, you can try installing it using the following command:

```bash
pip install -U wheel
pip install -U playsound
```

If you were not able to find your solution, please ask in the discord or create a new issue, so that the community can help you.
