Bulk upload from windows pc to Immich on other pc
Hello all,
I want to upload masses of photos to my new server, it is up and running, I have uploaded from various phones using the immich app, I can access the server ect..
I want to upload thousands of photos by selecting the folder rather than each individual photo, I understand I need to do this via CLI?
on my windows system I have opened Windows Power Shell in the folder holding the "Photos" directory and typed the following " immich upload --<My API Key> --url http://192.168.1.2:8181/api --recursive Photos/ ", what I recieve back is the following,
"immich : The term 'immich' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ immich upload --<My API Key> --url http:// ...
+ ~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (immich:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException"
I am truly stuck.. I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it, any one here able to offer assistance?
Thanks.
