===============
"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

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

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