# Running This On Your System... ?
## Running this whole bunch.. ?
## Installation Guide
- Clone the code ```git clone https://github.com/shivamguys/irctc-cypress-automation.git``` or download the code zip files.
- Make sure you have **Nodejs** and **npm** installed in your system you can visit **NodeJs** official website you will have full instruction guide present over there to install in your system.
### Sample Nodejs and npm installation in Linux
installs NVM (Node Version Manager)
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash
download and install Node.js
nvm install 21
verifies the right Node.js version is in the environment
node -v # should print v21.7.1
verifies the right NPM version is in the environment
npm -v # should print 10.5.0
### After NodeJs and Npm Installation, its time for you to install python and pip on your system.
### After Python Installation Follow Below Steps.......
##### In Case You Want To Install Pip here's the command to install in Linux
```sudo apt-get install python3-pip -y```
#### After Pip Installation you can install all requirements by pasting below command.pip install -r irctc-captcha-solver/requirements.txt # <---- Make Sure You Run This Command From Code Folder.
#### Check If Everything Works Fine....
This Would Print **No base-64 String provided** Which Means You Have Followed Correctly at this point.python irctc-captcha-solver/app-server.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5001
Then run the curl to see if the captcha server is responding fine.$ curl -X POST "http://localhost:5001/extract-text"
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{
"image": ""
}'
You should get below output.{"error":"No base64 image string provided"}
### Last Step That's It...........
npm install # <---- Make Sure You Run This Command From Code Folder. npm run start-booking <---------- This will first bring up captha server then starts booking
