First run fails

[lewisde]

What happened

I ran pip install --user linkedrw because I have use sudo without --user. I installed geckodriver because I use Firefox. linkedrw was not in my path but I was able run python3 -m linkedrw

You might want to expand on the installation instructions if I did it incorrectly.

Did you keep your browser window on top when linkedrw is running

Yes.

Did you try increasing the timeout by using -t/--timeout option

Not necessary as it failed looking for chromedriver.

Which web driver did you use

geckodriver 0.24.0

Did you try to specify the driver that you are using with -d/--driver option?

In your case, try to run this command python3 -m linkedrw -d firefox

Let me know if this resolves your issue.
