Run.Sh doesnt seem to do anything

[derDavid2]

Hey, I'm trying to use your code to gather a large amount of empty meme templates. I would need more than the 100 examples you provided. I am struggling to get the project to run, if I try to run the run.sh with git bash it just empties the run.sh file and other methods also didn't seem to work, I also tried to run the python files.

Could you provide a more detailed guide on how to start the run.sh file? Or is it broken because something on imgflip changed?

Also, I know this is asking for a lot, but if you could alternatively just run the script for me with a setting of more than 100 meme templates and provide that dataset, that would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for any reply, have a nice day.

Hi David

Sure I can take a look this week.

But the scraper is designed to get the most popular templates from https://imgflip.com/popular_meme_ids
and store them in dataset/popular_100_memes.csv

Based on popular_100_memes.csv, the templates and the memes are downloaded to the dataset. So if you need more templates you will need to have a bigger popular_100_memes.csv file.

Pretty sure something on imgflip side changed since the project was done 2yrs ago.
