Step 1, go to the Releases page on GitHub, and download the binary for your platform (Note which folder you've downloaded it too).
Step 2, rename the binary to auto-editor (or auto-editor.exe for Windows)
Step 3, In the terminal/PowerShell, cd into your downloads folder.
If you're on MacOS/Linux, run:
chmod +x ./auto-editor
Step 4, Run Auto-Editor in the terminal. Because the binaries are unsigned, you may get "Unknown developer" warnings. Ignore them.
Step 5, run:
./auto-editor --help
to verify it's working. It's recommended to place the binary in a PATH directory so that it's available as auto-editor no matter your current working directory.
If you're on MacOS (or Linux) run this to install auto-editor:
brew install auto-editor
Notify the homebrew package maintainers if this doesn't work.
If you're on a Debian-based Linux distro, run:
sudo apt install auto-editor
(If you can contact the Debian maintainers, tell them open-cv isn't an auto-editor dependency)
First, download and install Python
If you are installing on Windows, make sure "Add Python 3.14 to PATH" is checked.
Once that's done, you should have pip on your PATH. That means when you run pip3 on your console, you should get a list of commands and not command not found. If you don't have pip on your PATH, try reinstalling Python.
Then run:
pip install auto-editor
Now run this command and it should list all the options you can use
auto-editor --help
If that works then congratulations, you have successfully installed auto-editor. You can use now use this with any other type of video or audio that you have.
auto-editor C:path\to\your\video.mp4
If you would like to uninstall auto-editor, run:
pip uninstall auto-editor
If yt-dlp is installed, auto-editor can download and use URLs as inputs.
