Hello. This is a great project! I've been wanting such a crawler forever. While i know 2 other projects that did something similar, development was terminated and it was difficult to setup and run.

Ideally you should make some easy way so that noobs like me can just run an executable and be up and running it locally on their PC.

Kind regards

Hi, it's definitely the intention to provide this. There are a few technical issues to overcome first before we can build a native self-contained binary for Mac + Linux + Windows. Also it's higher priority right now to iron out usability issues - if we make it easier to install right now then less technical users are likely to have problems related to other usability issues that should be resolved first.
