===============

"browser" \| "crawler" = "brozzler"

Brozzler is a distributed web crawler (爬虫) that uses a real browser
(chrome or chromium) to fetch pages and embedded urls and to extract
links. It also uses `youtube-dl <https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl>`__
to enhance media capture capabilities.

It is forked from https://github.com/internetarchive/umbra.

Brozzler is designed to work in conjunction with
`warcprox <https://github.com/internetarchive/warcprox>`__ for web
archiving.

Installation
------------

XXX These instructions don't work at the moment. Brozzler requires some
customized packages not easily installable in the outside world. I intend to
remedy the situation soon.

::

    # set up virtualenv if desired
    pip install git+https://github.com/nlevitt/brozzler.git

Brozzler also requires a rethinkdb deployment.

Fonts for good screenshots
--------------------------

On ubuntu 14.04 trusty I installed these packages:

xfonts-base ttf-mscorefonts-installer fonts-arphic-bkai00mp
fonts-arphic-bsmi00lp fonts-arphic-gbsn00lp fonts-arphic-gkai00mp
fonts-arphic-ukai fonts-farsiweb fonts-nafees fonts-sil-abyssinica
fonts-sil-ezra fonts-sil-padauk fonts-unfonts-extra fonts-unfonts-core
ttf-indic-fonts fonts-thai-tlwg fonts-lklug-sinhala

Haven't looked much at the resulting screenshots yet though.
