Not able to run the code.

Sorry for the late reply

May you plz provide more details viz, the platform you are trying to run the program on?
Or maybe you are trying to setup the development environment?
It's a lil confusing, the issue title says ...run the code, whereas the comment says ...how to use this means you want to read fanfics using this.

Downloading

For example, in windows 64bit, to download the program,

Extract the contents of the zip file to an empty folder, and simply run Novel-Downloader.exe

The application does an update check at app-startup, so it will ask for an update if you downloaded the above zip file,

All application/rules related updates are done using raw.githubusercontent... domain, so make sure it isn't blocked by your ISP. It was actually blocked at my place(JIO - dunno why they did that) some weeks back so Rules Update feature wasn't working(using that network).
To test it, check if this page loads rules.json

After completion of app update, go to the Rules tab, and update the rules

What the Update Rules does is, it downloads the above mentioned rules.json file and replaces the one used by the application.

Hopefully you got an idea what went wrong on your side from the above instructions, if you were asking for that.

Environment Setup

In case, you want to setup a dev-environment, just install electron v19.0.5 globally. Run a live-server at the project root, port 5500. Uncomment line 148 and comment line 149 of main.js.

Then run command electron . at the project root. (Make sure only one instance is running, or electron will throw an error)

I could've used a script, going the normal way, but I had all the stuff already setup when I started working on the project and was lazy so meh.😅

Thank you
May you have a great day
