Requirements

Before you try it out, you're going to need some tools.

• git
• Node.js & npm (v19.7.0)
  • Might work with earlier versions, but this is the one I used, so I can't guarantee it will work with earlier versions.
• OpenAI API Key
• A Chrome executable that supports the new headless mode (e.g. Chrome v59+ on macOS, Chrome v60+ on Windows)
  • You can check your Chrome version by going to chrome://version in your browser.
  • You might be able to use other browsers, but I haven't tested it.

Setup

Your environment needs two environment variables:

• CHROME_PATH - the path to your Chrome executable
• OPENAI_API_TOKEN - your OpenAI API key

HINT: If you set these in the .env file in the project's root directory, the CLI will automatically load them for you! (see the .env.example file for an example)
