The need to install chromedriver in order to see the version of your tool #8

Is it possible for me to run your jar file without installing chromedriver?

When I just want to see the version of your tool, the following is the output: DeadLinkage-image

Hey. No I run the chrome web driver with means to scrape data from the html. You also need chrome installed. I will probably be modifying the next release so you can run version and help without opening the chromedriver.exe

Hi. Thank for your quick reply. It's very professional.

Your usage of web drivers reminds me of web-scraping. If we use java to check status code of a link, it might allow us to skip jumping through hoops of 2-factor authentications.

Yeah as i said it is my 0.1 release. The whole point of the use of chrome web driver is to incorporate the use of the selenium framework. Otherwise the dependency is not needed and can be done purely with java alone.

You explain everything. Thank you. Have a nice weekend.
