Installation Guide for CLI & Desktop App

CLI Installation

Section titled “CLI Installation”
curl -fsSL https://install.crawler.sh | sh

Downloads the correct binary for your platform (macOS ARM64 or x64) and installs it to ~/.crawler/bin/. The script automatically adds this directory to your PATH in your shell config files (.zshrc, .bashrc, etc.).

Restart your shell or run:

export PATH="$HOME/.crawler/bin:$PATH"

Verify installation

crawler --help

You should see the available subcommands: crawl, info, export, and seo.

CLI Uninstall

Section titled “CLI Uninstall”

  1. Remove the binary and install directory

    Section titled “Remove the binary and install directory”
    rm -rf ~/.crawler

    If you used a custom install directory, remove that instead.

  2. Clean up PATH entries

    Section titled “Clean up PATH entries”

    Remove the # crawler.sh block from your shell config files:

    • ~/.zshrc
    • ~/.bashrc
    • ~/.bash_profile
    • ~/.profile
    • ~/.config/fish/config.fish (if using fish)

    Each file will have a block like:

    # crawler.sh
    export PATH="$HOME/.crawler/bin:$PATH"

    Delete those lines, then restart your shell.
