        ===============
        
        "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
        --------------------------
        
        On ubuntu 14.04 trusty I installed these packages:
        
        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

        ttf-indic-fonts fonts-thai-tlwg fonts-lklug-sinhala
        
        Haven't looked much at the resulting screenshots yet though.
