scrapy-do 0.2.0

Quick Start

• Install scrapy-do using pip:

  $ pip install scrapy-do

• Start the daemon in the foreground:

  $ scrapy-do -n scrapy-do

• Open another terminal window and store the server’s URL in the client’s configuration file so that you don’t have to type it all the time:

  $ cat > ~/.scrapy-do.cfg << EOF
  > [scrapy-do]
  > url=http://localhost:7654
  > EOF

• Download the Scrapy’s Quotesbot example and push the code to the server:

  $ git clone https://github.com/scrapy/quotesbot.git
  $ cd quotesbot
  $ scrapy-do-cl push-project
