CS410 CourseProject (Team CAHJ) - Coursera Search with ChatGPT Extension

Project Overview

Requirements

This project is fairly straightforward with regards to requirements on the user's machine, but there are a few baselines that are required to be hit:

• The project requires Google Chrome to work.
• The project requires ChromeDriver, maintained by Chronium, to be installed in the root directory of the project in order to enable scraping (see Step 2 under Installation Instructions, below).
• The project requires a working installation of Python to scrape new course content. The file requirements.txt includes the packages necessary for the script to run. If you plan to scrape new course content into the project ElasticSearch index, please ensure your Python environment satisfies these requirements. (TODO - Create requirements.txt file for Python packages)
• As the extension is not deployed to the Google Chrome Web Store, it requires a local copy of the codebase on the user's computer (see Step 1 under Installation Instructions, below).
