This is a collection of tools to track philosophy papers and blog posts that recently appeared somewhere on the open internet.

I’m running this on Ubuntu 22.

add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt install aspell-en libaspell-dev libmysqlclient-dev libreoffice unoconv pkg-config tesseract-ocr imagemagick poppler-utils pdftk ghostscript cuneiform wkhtmltopdf

pip install lxml nltk selenium numpy scikit-learn google-api-python-client lxml pymysql beautifulsoup4 webdriver_manager pytest trafilatura

Also:

$ python
>>> import nltk
>>> nltk.download('punkt')
$ sudo mv ~/nltk_data /usr/share/

sudo cpan -i DBI DBD::mysql LWP Text::Aspell Text::Capitalize Text::Unidecode Text::Names String::Approx Lingua::Stem::Snowball JSON Config::JSON Statistics::Lite

Getting firefox and geckodriver to run is a bit of a pain. I installed both manually and entered their location in config.json. I also had to install libgtk-3-dev and libdbus-glib-1-2.

Test your installation:

pytest test/test_browser.py -k "test_install"

Create a google API key: https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/introduction Then create a custom search engine: https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/controlpanel/all

Copy cp_to_config.json to config.json and fill in the relevant fields.
