If you are a windows of mac user this instruction will not work properly. You can run the script just like a normal python script but this instruction doesn't contain any ways to run the script at startup in windows or mac.

Clone this repository using this command:

git clone https://github.com/shihabalratul/download_sorter.git

Open the file and install the dependencies:

cd download_sorter
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Open download_sorter.py file and set the download directory path to the source variable like this:

source='/home/user/Downloads'

Run the script at startup:

Open terminal and run:

crontab -e

Add this line at the bottom with the directory of this file:

@reboot /usr/bin/python3 [file_directory]/download_sorter.py

Here replace the [file_directory] with the full directory the script.

Download or copy anything in the download folder and see the magic.
