Installation¶
Prerequisites¶
Before installing dryscrape, you need to install some software it depends on:
On Ubuntu you can do that with one command (the #
indicates that you need
root privileges for this):
# apt-get install qt5-default libqt5webkit5-dev build-essential \
python-lxml python-pip xvfb
Please note that Qt4 is also supported.
On Mac OS X, you can use Homebrew to install Qt and easy_install to install pip:
# brew install qt
# easy_install pip
On other operating systems, you can use pip to install lxml (though you might have to install libxml and the Python headers first).
Recommended: Installing dryscrape from PyPI¶
This is as simple as a quick
# pip install dryscrape
Note that dryscrape supports Python 2.7 and 3 as of version 1.0.
Installing dryscrape from Git¶
First, get a copy of dryscrape using Git:
$ git clone https://github.com/niklasb/dryscrape.git dryscrape
$ cd dryscrape
To install dryscrape, you first need to install webkit-server. You can use pip to do this for you (while still in the dryscrape directory).
# pip install -r requirements.txt
If you want, you can of course also install the dependencies manually.
Afterwards, you can use the setup.py
script included to install dryscrape:
# python setup.py install
