A program for downloading videos from Facebook, given a video url

pip install facebook-downloader

You will need to have the FireFox browser installed on your pc (for the PyPI Package)

The program is dependent on selenium, so in order to run it, you will have to download and properly setup geckodriver (setup instructions available below)

docker pull rly0nheart/facebook-downloader:facebook-downloader

1. Go to the geckodriver releases page. Find the latest version of the driver for your platform and download it

2. Extract the downloaded file

tar -xvzf geckodriver*

3. Add geckodriver to your system path

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/downloaded/geckodriver

If you encounter issues with the above commands, then you should run them as root

1. Go to the geckodriver releases page. Find the geckodriver.exe binary for your platform and download it

2. Move the downloaded executable to C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310

The numbers on the directory 'Python310' will depend on the version of Python you have

• Set up Selenium & GeckoDriver (Mac)

facebook_downloader <video-url>

 docker run -it -v $PWD/downloads:/app/downloads facebook-downloader <facebook_url>

The url format should be as follows; https://www.facebook.com/PageName/videos/VideoID
