+# CAM4Recorder
+
+This is script to automate the recording of public webcam shows from cam4. 
+
+
+## Requirements
+
+I have only tested this on debian(7+8) and Mac OS X (10.10.4), but it should run on other OSs
+
+Requires python3.5 or newer. You can grab python3.5.2 from https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-352/
+
+to install required modules, run:
+```
+python3.5 -m pip install livesteramer
+```
+
+
+Edit lines 6 and 8 to set the path for the directory to save the videos to, and to set the location of the "wanted.txt" file.
+Add one model per line. The model should match the models name in their chatrooms URL (https://www.cam4.com/{modelname}).
