ArchiveBox is an open-source web-page archiving tool that comes in handy for archiving various websites to their local copies. This tutorial will walk you through the installation process of ArchiveBox on Fedora CoreOS.
Before installing ArchiveBox, start by updating your system packages and install the required dependencies. Open a terminal on Fedora CoreOS and run the below command:
$ sudo dnf update && sudo dnf install gcc python3 python3-devel python3-pip libffi-devel openssl-devel
This command will update your packages and install the dependencies required for ArchiveBox installation.
Once the dependencies are installed, you can proceed with installing ArchiveBox on Fedora CoreOS. To do that, run the following command:
$ sudo pip3 install ArchiveBox
This command will install the latest version of ArchiveBox on Fedora CoreOS.
After the installation is complete, you can verify the installation by checking the version number. You can do that by executing the following command:
$ archivebox version
If the installation is successful, you should see the installed version number of ArchiveBox.
Once the installation is complete, you need to configure ArchiveBox by creating a configuration file. By default, the configuration file is not created upon installation, so you need to create it manually. To create the ArchiveBox configuration file, run the following command:
$ archivebox init
This command will create the configuration file in the current directory. You can modify the configuration file based on your requirement.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ArchiveBox on Fedora CoreOS, and you are now set to archive various websites on your local machine. However, remember to update your ArchiveBox regularly to ensure that you have the latest features and bug fixes.
