The only python dependency needed at this moment is requests
You can install it using your Linux distribution package manager or using pip
pip install requests
To run a code locally, use bin/gogdl script, which is a convenient python wrapper
gogdl now manages authentication, so it no longer needs --token parameter, although you now need to provide a path to json file where the tokens will be stored
Heroic uses $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/heroic/gog_store/auth.json
Here is the command to pull the source code
git clone https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/heroic-gogdl
cd heroic-gogdl
./bin/gogdl --help
