+
+## Installation
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+You need at least 512MB RAM to run the script.  
+Scripts can be launched directly from a PeerTube server (in this case you already have dependencies installed :+1:) or from a separate server, even a dekstop PC.  
+
+### Dependencies
+
+Install the [PeerTube dependencies](dependencies.md).
+
+### Installation
+
+Clone the PeerTube repo to get the latest version:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube.git
+CLONE="$(pwd)/PeerTube"
+```
+
+Run ``yarn install``
+```
+cd ${CLONE}
+yarn install
+```
+
+Build server tools:
+```
+cd ${CLONE}
+npm run build:server
+```
+
+## Tools 
+
+### import-videos.js
+
+You can use this script to import videos from all [supported sites of youtube-dl](https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html) into PeerTube.  
+Be sure you own the videos or have the author's authorization to do so.
+
+
+```
+cd ${CLONE}
+node dist/server/tools/import-videos.js -u "PEERTUBE_URL" -U "PEERTUBE_USER" --password "PEERTUBE_PASSWORD" -t "TARGET_URL"
+```
+
+ * PEERTUBE_URL : the full URL of your PeerTube server where you want to import, eg: https://peertube.cpy.re/
+ * PEERTUBE_USER : your PeerTube account where videos will be uploaded
+ * PEERTUBE_PASSWORD : password of your PeerTube account
+ * TARGET_URL : the target url you want to import. Examples:
+   * YouTube:
+     * Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/ChannelId
+     * User https://www.youtube.com/c/UserName or https://www.youtube.com/user/UserName
+     * Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blabla
+   * Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/xxxxxx
+   * Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/xxxxx
+
+ The script will get all public videos from Youtube, download them and upload to PeerTube.  
+ Already downloaded videos will not be uploaded twice, so you can run and re-run the script in case of crash, disconnection...
+
+### upload.js
+
+You can use this script to import videos directly from the CLI.
+
+```
+cd ${CLONE}
+node dist/server/tools/upload.js --help
+```
