hydron

Media tagger and organizer backend. Hydron aims to be a much faster alternative to the Hydrus Network and is currently in early development.

Platforms: Linux, OSX, Win64

Installation

Windows

While it is possible to compile binaries on Windows with MinGW/MSYS2 similar to how you would on Unix-like systems, it is a huge pain in the ass. Just download statically precompiled binaries from the release page.

Linux / OS X

1. Install dependencies listed below. On a Debian-based system those would the following packages or similar: golang build-essential pkg-config libpth-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libgraphicsmagick1-dev
2. Set up a Go workspace (not needed with Go >= 1.8) `mkdir ~/go; echo 'export GOPATH=~/go' >> ~/.bashrc; . ~/.bashrc`
3. Add Go bin directory to your path `echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/go/bin' >> ~/.bashrc; . ~/.bashrc`
4. Download and install Hydron with `go get github.com/bakape/hydron`

Build dependencies

• Go >= 1.7
• GCC or Clang

• pthread
• ffmpeg >= 3.0 libraries (libavcodec, libavutil, libavformat)

Updating
