Introduction
If you want to run it as a self hosted application and can handle files outside webroot: take the data from github.com
- use git if available (recommended)
- otherwise download tha master as Zip or Tgz
If you have no access outside webroot like on a on a shared hosting then you need the part in the public_html subfolder only:
- get the files from github.com locally and upload the content of the public_html only OR
- download the content of public_html from sourceforge.net
Self-hosted application
Git clone the project (recommended)
Checkout sources with git client. The following commands create a directory ahcrawler below webroot and put all files there:
cd /var/www
git clone https://github.com/axelhahn/ahcrawler.git [optional-name-of-subdir]
Without [optional-name-of-subdir] it will create a subdir named “ahcrawler”
In your webservice configuration set the document root to /var/www/ahcrawler/public_html/.
Download the project
Use this variant if you don’t have/ don’t want to use git.
On the Github project https://github.com/axelhahn/ahcrawler you find after pressing [Code] a direct link to download a Zip archive. https://github.com/axelhahn/ahcrawler/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
Extract it in /var/www/ … it creates a subdir “ahcrawler-master” - rename it like you need it, eg. “ahcrawler”.
cd /var/www/
wget https://github.com/axelhahn/ahcrawler/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
unzip master.zip
mv ahcrawler-master ahcrawler
rm -f master.zip
In your webservice configuration set the document root to /var/www/ahcrawler/public_html/.
Web data only
Use this variant on a shared hosting with limited access to files inside webroot only.
You can get all files locally like described in the section “Self-hosted application” above and upload the content of subfolder “public_html” into a subdirectory.
Another solution is to …
Download from sourceforge.net
Go to your webroot of your hosting. Create a subdirectory for ahcrawler. There we extract the zip with application files.
ssh your-name@hosting.example.com
mkdir ahcrawler
cd ahcrawler
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/ahcrawler/files/latest/download
unzip download
rm -f download
