Install

Fanboy is written in python3.

You will need python3.
You will also need pip, the package manager for python external modules.
It comes bundled in python3 ( >v3.5 ), alternatively get it HERE.
Then, install dependancies with following command :

pip install -U bs4 lxml

Usage

There are various ways you can go about .. a most simple one is shown here but it would be very tidious and time consuming for large no. of albums, for in depth explanation and full features see HERE

In the terminal(MAC/UNIX) or the command prompt(WIN), go to the directory you have downloaded the fanboy in and run

python3 fanboy.py

python3.exe fanboy.py

It will prompt for URL of the album you want to download images from , paste and press Enter. A file will be created in working directory with the image links.

I recommand using retrive.py to download these images, Although any downloader will do, retrive.py names the downloaded images for better handling and mangement. See the docs for more details.
