Many thanks ..

Not pretending to have any major knowledge about ruby or programming in general. However, some questions above are pretty basic so i’ll write down the steps i took to make this work on my mac. I used the fork zbas made since i had more than 1000 likes to download.

• Register a tumblr app to get the consumer_key and the consumer_secret.
  You can do this here: www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps
• Use the in browser tumblr_api console tumblr provides to get the oauth_token and oath_token_secret for my tumblr account.
  This can be had here: https://api.tumblr.com/console/
• Paste all of the above in the script fork of zbas.
• install the latest version of ruby using homebrew
  Command in terminal in iMac: brew install ruby
• Clone the git repository for the required gem tumblr_client to get the before functionality since this is only contained in the master version.
  Command in terminal on iMac: git clone https://github.com/tumblr/tumblr_client.git
• Build the tumblr_client gem from the cloned repository.
  Command in terminal on iMac(in the repository directory): gem build tumblr_client.gemspec
• Install both the generated tumblr_client gem and the required mechanize gem.
  Commands in terminal on iMac(in the repository directory to pick the correct client):
  gem install tumblr_client-0.8.5.gem
  gem install mechanize
• run the ruby script in terminal using the command:
  ruby tumblr-likes-downloader.rb

Many thanks to all who contributed and mbas for his fork.

I am getting this error (Mac OS Sierra):

tumblr-likes-downloader.rb:37:in <main>': undefined method each' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

Any advice?

If you are not able to run this, here I made one as well:

https://github.com/neuro-sys/tumblr-downloader-client

If any one like node.js, I made one too https://github.com/gonejack/tumblr-likes-downloader
