With no arguments, it will listen on port 6283 and use an address of 'http://localhost:6283'.
The address must be specified so that the bookmarklet can refer to the correct
host when it is not running on your local machine. You may also need to specify
host if it is not running on your local machine. You may also need to specify
a different address if you are running it behind a proxy server or similar.
## Using
Bring up `http://localhost:6283` (or your chosen address) in your browser. You should see a link to the bookmarklet at the top of the screen, and the list of downloads (currently empty).

## Using an alternative downloader
The default downloader is youtube-dl. It is possible to use a different downloader
via the `-dl-cmd` command line option.
While `gropple` will use your `PATH` to find the executable, you may also want
to specify a full path instead.o
So, for instance, to use `youtube-dlc` instead of `youtube-dl` and specify the
full path:
`gropple -dl-cmd /home/username/bin/youtube-dlc`
Note that this is only the path to the executable. If you need to change the
command arguments, see below.
## Changing the youtube-dl arguments
The default arguments passed to `youtube-dl` are:
* `--newline` (needed to allow gropple to properly parse the output)
* `--write-info-json` (optional, but provides information on the download in the corresponding .json file)
* `-f` and `bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]/best` (choose the type of video `youtube-dl` will download)
These are customisable on the command line for `gropple`. For example, to duplicate these default options, you would
do:
`gropple -dl-args '--newline' -dl-args '--write-info-json' -dl-args '-f' -dl-args 'bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[ext=mp4]/best`
