Requirements
============

**Chrome/Chromium browser is required** for this tool to work. Google Images now requires JavaScript execution, so Selenium with Chrome is mandatory for all downloads.

Installation:

* **Linux**: ``apt-get install chromium-browser`` or ``apt-get install google-chrome-stable``
* **macOS**: ``brew install --cask google-chrome``
* **Windows**: Download from https://www.google.com/chrome/

The tool will automatically download and manage the chromedriver using ``webdriver-manager``.

This program lets you download tons of images from Google.
Please do not download or use any image that violates its copyright terms.
Google Images is a search engine that merely indexes images and allows you to find them.
It does NOT produce its own images and, as such, it doesn't own copyright on any of them.
The original creators of the images own the copyrights.

Images published in the United States are automatically copyrighted by their owners,
even if they do not explicitly carry a copyright warning.
You may not reproduce copyright images without their owner's permission,
except in "fair use" cases,
or you could risk running into lawyer's warnings, cease-and-desist letters, and copyright suits.
