Python Web Scraping

Install Dependencies

python3 packages

pip3 install Pillow requests beautifulsoup4 selenium webdriver-manager opencv-python numpy
pip3 install pytest pytest-cov pytest-xdist pytest-html
# or
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

The pytest command installed by pip3 may not be in the system's PATH, so the terminal can't locate the command.
This can be resolved using the following approach.

vim ~/.bashrc
# add this line to .bashrc
# export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin
source ~/.bashrc
