Automatisch is a website automation and data extraction tool that can help you automate your web related tasks. In this tutorial, we will see how to install Automatisch on Elementary OS.
To use Automatisch, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and enter the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-venv python3-dev libpq-dev zlib1g-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev
Go to the Automatisch website at https://automatisch.io/ and download the package for your system. Since we are using Elementary OS, we will download the package for Ubuntu 18.04.
Once the package is downloaded, open the terminal and navigate to the downloads folder using the cd command:
cd Downloads/
Extract the package using the following command:
tar xzf automatisch-<version>-ubuntu1804.tar.gz
Replace <version> with the version number of the package.
Navigate to the extracted directory:
cd automatisch-<version>-ubuntu1804
Then, run the installer:
sudo ./install.sh
The installer will guide you through the installation process.
Once the installation is complete, you can start Automatisch by running the following command:
automatisch
This will start the Automatisch server, and you can now access the web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Automatisch on your Elementary OS computer.
