To get a true clone of Reddit, another tool such as HTTrack should be used.Īfter installation, run the program from any directory as shown below: It simply retrieves much of the raw data that Reddit provides. Note that the clone command is not a true, failthful clone of Reddit. Lastly, the clone command will perform both functions of the previous commands at once and is more efficient than running those commands sequentially. These can then be saved in a data markup language form, such as JSON, XML, or YAML. The archive command will download the submission data itself and store it, such as the submission details, upvotes, text, statistics, as and all the comments on that submission. The download command will download the resource linked in the Reddit submission, such as the images, video, etc. Each one has a command that performs similar but distinct functions. There are three modes to the BDFR: download, archive, and clone. These sources are combined and downloaded to disk, according to a naming and organisational scheme defined by the user. These sources might be a subreddit, multireddit, a user list, or individual links. The BDFR works by taking submissions from a variety of 'sources' from Reddit and then parsing them to download. If you want to use the source code or make contributions, refer to CONTRIBUTING Usage If on Arch Linux or derivative operating systems such as Manjaro, the BDFR can be installed through the AUR.

To update BDFR, run the above command again after the installation.
