The `downloader` component provides a service to download files. It will raise an error and not continue to set itself up when the download directory does not exist.
|
|
|
|
To enable it, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
downloader:
|
|
download_dir: downloads
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Service `downloader/download_file`
|
|
|
|
Download the specified url.
