Spoiler: Windows installation

Windows install instructions:
Step 1 : Get the latest Windows version of WebGrab+Plus (The Program)
Step 2 : Run the insaller
Step 3 : Configure WG++ to your own needs (see the configuration howto)
Step 4 : Run the program. This can be done by the shortcut placed in the startup menu "WebGrab+Plus>WebGrab+Plus".

Remark : Don't change anything in siteini.pack, copy the siteini you want to adjust to siteini.user instead
Remark : For PVR specific examples look at "interact with your PVR software"

Spoiler: Linux installation

Linux install instructions:
Step 1 : First check if you have mono installed on your linux device. Execute next in a command line window.

mono -V

If you get output like below, you have mono on your device and can skip installing mono. And go directly to Step 3

Mono JIT compiler version 2.10.8.1 (Debian 2.10.8.1-1ubuntu2.2) Copyright (C) 2002-2011 Novell, Inc, Xamarin, Inc and Contributors. www.mono-project.com TLS: __thread SIGSEGV: altstack Notifications: epoll Architecture: amd64 Disabled: none Misc: softdebug LLVM: supported, not enabled. GC: Included Boehm (with typed GC and Parallel Mark)

If the output is like below, then you have to install mono on your device.

The program 'mono' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install mono-runtime

Use Mono version >= 4.8.0 if you have sites with https path. See our faq for details on this.
So the above setup (Mono 2.10.8.1) would not work for certain https sites.

Step 2 : Install mono. Currently mono-complete has too be installed to (reason currently unknown)

See the mono documentation on how to install mono for differnent linux distros. Just be sure to actualy install mono-complete, so use

sudo apt-get install mono-complete

instead of

sudo apt-get install mono-devel

that is used on the mono site

Remark: A user has found a reduced setup that makes WG++ work. (instead of the 220MB mono-complete installation, only 32MB is needed. Not tested)

sudo apt-get install mono-runtime libmono-system-data4.0-cil libmono-system-web4.0-cil

Step 3 : Get the latest Linux version of WebGrab+Plus and save it.
Step 4 : Extract/install the package.

cd ~
tar -zxvf WebGrabPlus_V2.0.tar.gz

Step 5 : Finish the install

cd ~/.wg++
install.sh

Step 6: Configure WG++ to your own needs (see the configuration howto)

Step 7 : Run the program. Execute next in a command line window.

~/.wg++/run.sh

Remark : Don't change anything in siteini.pack, copy the siteini you want to adjust to siteini.user instead


Remark :
If you get an error like:

Unhandled Exception:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies.

You probably only have mono-runtime installed. Just execute Step 2, and you should be fine.
