1. Install (or update) JDK and reboot your PC (very important to set the environment variables correctly!).
   
   
2. Download the ZIP package from the button above in this page and extract it with your favorite archive manager (usually there is always one pre-installed in any operating system).
   
   
3. Run the JAR executable:
   
   
   • On Windows: usually just double-clicking on it should be enough but if this does not work then right-click on the JAR file, choose the “Open with” option and select “JAVA(TM) Platform SE binary”.
     Note: you can launch the JAR executable also from a cmd window with the same command of Unix/Mac below!
     
     
   • On Unix distros or Mac: open a terminal window in the same folder where is the JAR file and type the following command:

     java -jar MangaDownloader.jar

Starting from v50 you can set custom options/parameters for the JVM when launching the program. To do it you have to open the vmoptions.txt file (that should be created automatically at first startup in the same folder where is the main executable of the program) and add the custom options/parameters in the file (only one for line).

Starting from version v70, the program now supports the use of custom external scripts to extend support to any website you want. You can find a step-by-step tutorial on how to create and implement these scripts HERE.

You can report any bugs or issues, as well as suggestions for enhancements and proposals, using the project's official page on GitHub.
