The core idea of the script is that it allows users to watch anime in sync with their anilist account, automatically updating and tracking all progress (down to seconds of an episode watched).
But the script also has a lot of other features, which you can find in the features section.
-
Multiple providers: allanime (default), aniwatch, yugen, hdrezka and crunchyroll (requires token or email and password)
-
Sync watch progress on Anilist on episode completion, and locally (down to the second watched, just like YouTube and Netflix does it)
-
Customize subtitle language, video quality, provider and many other things (using arguments or config file)
-
Discord Rich Presence: display currently watched anime in Discord (currently requires the installation of the helper python script:
jerrydiscordpresence.py) -
External menu support: ability to use rofi, so that opening a terminal window isn't even required to run the script! (this can be used to setting the script to run on a keybind)
-
Output episode links in JSON format
sudo curl -sL github.com/justchokingaround/jerry/raw/main/jerry.sh -o /usr/local/bin/jerry &&
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/jerryWindows installation instructions
- This guide covers how to install and use jerry with the Windows Terminal (which comes pre-installed with Windows 11), you could also use a different terminal emulator, that supports fzf, like for example Wezterm
- Note that the Git Bash terminal does not have proper fzf support
Basically, what we are going to do is install the bash shell and use it to install the shell script. We will also install the mpv video player and fzf, which are required for the script to work.
- Install scoop
Open a PowerShell terminal https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-on-windows?view=powershell-7.2#msi (version 5.1 or later) and run:

irm get.scoop.sh | iex- Install git,mpv and fzf
scoop bucket add extras
scoop install git extras/mpv fzf-
Install windows terminal (you don't need to have a microsoft account for that) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/install
-
Install git bash (select the option to add it to the windows terminal during installation) https://git-scm.com/download/win
(The next steps are to be done in the windows terminal, in a bash shell)
