Make sure you have Java installed. You can download / install it at this site: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/index_installing.xml
The ripme.jar
file is actually executable. Java will execute the .jar
file similarly to how .exe
files are executed. Usually double-clicking the .jar
file executes the program.
If double-clicking the .jar
file does not open the program, you can right-click the file and select an Open With...
option, then select the Java
runtime application.
If all else fails, you can run the program via command-line by navigating to the directory and executing
By default ripme will store all it's config and history files in the users config folder (LOCALAPPDATA/ripme for windows, ~/.config/ripme for linux, ~/Library/Application Support/ripme for MacOS). To over ride this behaviour and have ripme store all it's config and history files in the same folder as ripme.jar create a file named rip.properties in the same folder as the jar and then start ripme

Downloading a URL range
To download a range of URLs with ripme enter the URL into the rip field and write the range you want to down as "{RANGE_START-RANGE_END}" for example to download url.tld/1, url.tld/2 and url.tld/3 you'd enter http://url.tld/{1-3}
Many rippers will throw a "No compatible ripper found!" warning when you enter a URL with a range, however clicking rip will properly rip these urls
