If you're reading this, you obviously got the archive untar'd.
So, what to do from here?

Well, I found that my preference was to make this script available system wide.
That way, all users can benefit from it's use.

The way you can do this is:

sudo mv getvideo /etc/
sudo ln -s /etc/getvideo/getvideo /usr/bin/getvideo


If you're a developer, and you don't want to have to sudo everytime you want to
edit the script, you can do this instead:

mv /tar/dir/getvideo /your/directory    # Must be an absolute directory.
                                        # I.E., /home/user/ instead of ~/
sudo ln -s /your/directory/getvideo /etc/getvideo
sudo ln -s /etc/getvideo/getvideo /usr/bin/getvideo


Now you can just go to /your/directory/getvideo/modules/ to add a "module" to
parse with.



The only requirement for modules is that they set the variable $FILE. This is
what triggers the download for the video.
