SingleFile (command-line mode)

Introduction

SingleFile can be launched from the command line by running it into a (headless) browser.

It supports:

• Puppeteer
• Selenium WebDriver
• jsdom

This is a work in progress.

Run SingleFile

Prerequisites

• Chrome/Chromium and Node.js must be installed first. It is recommended that Chrome/Chromium executable can be found through the PATH environment variable. Otherwise you will need to use the --browser-executable-path option to help SingleFile locating the executable.
• By default SingleFile will use Puppeteer to connect to the browser. If you want to use Selenium WebDriver instead, you must install it first and ensure the executable can be found through the PATH environment variable.

Install

• Unzip the master archive somewhere on your disk.

$ unzip master.zip .

• Go into the cli directory.

• Install dependencies with npm (installed with Node.js).
