Most dependencies are pre-configured to save installation time, but you need to install base software from Installers folder first.

Download time estimates:

  • • 10 Mbps: ~20 minutes
  • • 50 Mbps: ~4 minutes
  • • 100 Mbps: ~2 minutes
2

Extract Package

Right-click the ZIP file and select "Extract All" or use 7-Zip/WinRAR

⚠️ Important: Make sure the drive has at least 10 GB free space

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install Python, Git, Node.js, or other software?

YES - You need to install base software from the Installers folder:

REQUIRED (in order):
1. C++ Redistributables (VC_redist.x64.exe)
2. Python 3.10 (python-3.10.0-amd64.exe) - ⚠️ Check "Add to PATH"!
3. Git for Windows (Git-2.51.0-64-bit.exe)
4. Node.js (node-v22.19.0-x64.msi) - Required for application

TIME SAVINGS:
All application dependencies are pre-configured, saving you 10-15 minutes of complex setup and avoiding installation errors!

Do I need administrator rights to install AutoTube?

Yes, but only for one step:

• Installing the Windows service requires administrator rights
• Everything else (extraction, running AutoTube) works without admin rights
• You only need admin access once during setup

How much disk space do I need?

AutoTube package: ~3 GB (after extraction)
Generated videos: 2-5 GB recommended
Additional working space: 2-3 GB
Minimum required: 10 GB free space
Recommended: 15-20 GB free space

You can install on ANY drive (C:, D:, E:, etc.) - just make sure it has enough space!
SSD recommended for faster video processing.

Can I install AutoTube on multiple computers?

Each license key is tied to one device using hardware fingerprinting.

If you need AutoTube on multiple computers, you'll need separate licenses for each machine.

The license remains valid even if you update Windows or drivers.

Do I need a GPU for video generation?

No GPU required! AutoTube uses:
• CPU-based video processing (MoviePy, FFmpeg)
• Cloud AI APIs for content generation
• Any modern processor (i3 or better) works perfectly

Higher CPU = faster rendering, but GPU is not needed.

How long does setup take?

10-15 minutes total (after download):
• Extract package: 2-3 minutes
• Install C++ Redistributables: 1 minute
• Install Python: 2 minutes
• Install Git: 2 minutes
• Install Node.js: 2 minutes
• Setup AutoTube service: 1-2 minutes
• Launch AutoTube Desktop.exe: Instant!

Time saved: Application dependencies are pre-configured, saving you 10-15 minutes of complex setup!

What internet speed do I need?

Minimum: 10 Mbps for basic functionality
Recommended: 50+ Mbps for optimal experience
AutoTube uses cloud AI APIs for content generation, so a stable internet connection is important.

Will AutoTube work offline?

Internet connection required. AutoTube needs internet for:
• AI content generation APIs
• License validation
• YouTube uploads
• Trend research

Can I use AutoTube on Mac or Linux?

Currently, AutoTube is Windows only (Windows 10/11, 64-bit). Mac and Linux versions are not available at this time.

What if I get an antivirus warning?

Some antivirus software may flag AutoTube as suspicious due to security protections. This is normal. You can:
1. Add AutoTube folder to antivirus exclusions
2. Temporarily disable antivirus during installation
3. Re-enable after installation completes
