This one needs environment variables set before it will start: NORWAY_ARCHIVES_CACHE_DIR (Directory for the on-disk cache and the daily request count.), NORWAY_ARCHIVES_TIMEOUT (HTTP timeout in seconds for one request. Image downloads get 120 s to read.), NORWAY_ARCHIVES_DA_INTERVAL (Least seconds between two Digitalarkivet requests. Never below 5.), NORWAY_ARCHIVES_DA_DAILY_BUDGET (Most live Digitalarkivet requests per UTC day. Cached answers are free.), NORWAY_ARCHIVES_CONTACT (An email address or URL appended to the User-Agent, so an archive can reach whoever runs the server.), NORWAY_ARCHIVES_DOWNLOAD_DIR (An existing folder. When set, the downloads save only inside it; needed to save under ~/Library, such as an iCloud Drive folder.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
