Wilford

Do you like listening to LDS General Conference talks? Do you wish you had a girlfriend? Do you need a way to download General Conference talks in bulk?

Wilford can help you with 2 of those!

Wilford is a simple text-based program that lets you download General Conference Talks from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by speaker.

WARNING This program is kind of janky when compiled. You might just have a better experience downloading the source code than trying to run it from the "executable" in the release

Install Wilford

If you want to try out Wilford, then you have two options: Remember this is a beta program built by a random college kid. There are a million problems with this. I'm keeping track of things to do here

Click here to download the latest release of Wilford. Download the file based on your operating system. (wilford-macos for Mac, etc)

macOS

1. Download both wilford-macos-vX.X.X and install-mac.sh
2. Open Terminal in the download directory
3. Run these commands to get macOS to let you run the code:

   chmod +x wilford-macos       
   xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine wilford-macos

4. When running for the first time, you'll need to:
   • Right-click the executable
   • Select 'Open'
   • Click 'Open' in the security dialog

Windows

Simply download and double-click wilford-windows.exe. Windows may show a security warning since the app isn't signed - click "More info" and then "Run anyway" to proceed.

Linux

I don't use Linux, so these install steps come from our AI friend Claude. Trust at your own peril.

1. Download wilford-linux
2. Open Terminal in the download directory
3. Make it executable:

   chmod +x wilford-linux

4. Run it:

   ./wilford-linux

Alternatively, move it to a directory in your PATH:

sudo mv wilford-linux /usr/local/bin/wilford
