First steps

Well.. what is the first step?

It's time to start. Pick up a towel, a bottle of Gatorade and... get ready!

First of all download the Pepper bundle specifically for Windows or macOS (you will find the links in our server - #updates) and unzip it in a folder where you want to place Pepper.

You will only see #updates in our server if you got verified by staff members. For that, please fill your information into the billing link, that our bot (PepperScripts#0786) sent you. If the link expired, open a ticket and click on the "change data" button.

This folder can not be changed later, so pick your desired folder carefully! If you need to change the folder afterwards Pepper might require a full re-setup. For an easier change, have a look at our import / export function!

You should also exclude this folder from your Anti-Virus tool - as some tools cause trouble when running Pepper / the updater. Yes also Windows Defender (guide here).

Last but not least: the folder has to be a local folder - not a cloud-synced (GoogleDrive, OneDrive, MEGA, ...) folder!

Next and most important step: Have your license key ready as you will need to copy & paste it into the updater on your first run. (Pasting something into the CLI/Updater on Windows only works by right clicking your mouse!)

You can now run the updater in order to automatically download the latest version of Pepper. Windows users: run the updater at least once as administrator. MacOS users: run the updater once by right clicking on it, then click on Open. For the next times you can just double click it. This whitelist our updater from the master control checker.

Now hop over to the extensions page of Chrome (yes please use Google Chrome as other chromium based browsers might cause issues) which you can access with the puzzle icon on the top right.

Allow the developer mode on the top right of that page and click on Load Unpacked, where you select the "extension" folder, which was created by the updater.

Start Pepper by clicking on the Pepper logo in your extension bar and it will ask you for your license key. Input it and login with your main Discord account (if we'll notice that you are using a burner Discord account we will immediately revoke your license without any warning - same goes for sharing Pepper with anyone).

Remember that everytime you change your ip you'll need to re-login. This is needed for security reasons. This includes the use of proxies, VPN, mobile hotspots or just the overnight IP renewal of your provider.

The settings.json

This file will be automatically created by the updater on your first installation. It contains following options that we will explain now:

{
"license": "YOUR PEPPER KEY",
"spawnLimit": 5,
"harvester": {
	"enabled": true,
	"bankSize": 2,
	"preferredSolver": "random",
	"capmonsterKey": "YOUR CAPMONSTER API KEY",
	"twocaptchaKey": "YOUR 2CAPTCHA API KEY"
	"capsolverKey": "YOUR CAPSOLVER API KEY"
	"aycdKey": "AYCD TOKEN:AYCD BOT API KEY"
	},
"paypal": {
	"username": "YOUR PAYPAL E-MAIL",
	"password": "YOUR PAYPAL PASSWORD",
	"country": "YOUR COUNTRY ISO CODE (like DE, IT...)"
	},

	},
	"amazon": {

	}
},
"imap": {

	"port": 993,
	"username": "YOUR E-MAIL",
	"password": "YOUR E-MAIL PASSWORD"
	}
},
"cloneable": false

License: your Pepper license key

Spawn Limit: defines how many Chrome instances will be spawned if they have a defined mirror mode shortcut.

Harvester: defines the size of your captcha bank and which solvers will be used to fill the bank if you don't fill it manually.

PayPal: your settings for PayPal sessions with CLI. Pretty self explanatory.

Webhook: this is additional, for example if you want your Nike webhooks to go somewhere. Normally your specified webhook in the Pepper instance is used.

Sites:

• Nike Here you can specify:

  • if you want to disable videos or images. This can be pretty helpful for running residential proxies as this will limit data usage. Put "true" or "false" depending on what you want.

  • which browser to use "chrome", "edge" or "brave" are supported (of course these browser has to be installed on your machine.

• Amazon Here you can specify:

  • if you want to keep your webhooks private with disablePublicWebhooks (enable it only if you doing FBA and you don't want to share your clips). Don't abuse it for normal or Pokemon items or your module will be disabled

  • restartTaskAfterCheckout self explanatory.

Imap: This part is solely for imap. Pretty self explanatory.

Cloneable: you decide if you want to automatically start a new instance as soon as CLI module is started. This is useful if you want to have always an instance ready to be launched via quicktasks.

The updater

This will be your best friend... after Pepper of course. You will not need to manually download every update. You simply run the updater and it will replace your old Pepper version with the newest one. Simple as that.

After that go to chrome://extension inside your Chrome and press the small reload button as shown in the picture below. Repeat for each of your Chrome instances. This step is very important -> do not forget it!
