How to start with PyWebScrapBook #260

Closed GCRaistlin closed 2 years ago

GCRaistlin commented 2 years ago

I really don't understand how to make things work (I use Windows). I installed Python and PyWebScrapBook. Then I executed wsb config -ba and wsb serve. The first question is is there a way to run the last command in the background, as a service? Or do we need to have this console window on the screen all the way? But okay, let's go further. I specified http://localhost:8080/ as the backend server address in Options. I run the server. I open scrapbook and see: 2022-01-13 WSB What did I miss?

Most of your question should have been answered by the documentation. Have you checked it?

If you still have the same issue. Please provide the version of your OS, browser, WebScrapbook, and PyWebScrapBook (through wsb --version) for further investigation.

Good day.. Is it possible to use it with Pydroid3? I tried but I don't know what to do next.. I think it's not included? ![Uploading Screenshot_20220131_171352_ru.iiec.pydroid3.jpg…]()

@josephfrances123 Can't read your image. You should be able to check whether PyWSB is installable and runnable through the interface and console log. Generally speaking, Python is restricted on Android and it should make more sense to host the PyWSB server remotely (either on your PC or an external server) and let the WSB on mobile access it.
