This project contains an utility for generating sitemaps given a particular URL. There are two ways of executing this utility

NB: All CLI commands assume that you have navigated to the same directory as this README file

METHOD 1 (Using Docker)

STEP 1

Follow the instructions here(https://docs.docker.com/engine/getstarted/step_one/) to install docker for your machine. On completion of the installation, open your CLI of choice and run docker --version to verify that it is installed

STEP 2 (only needs to be done once)

In your CLI, make the script in install_crawler.sh executable with the command chmod a+x install_crawler.sh. Execute the script using the command ./install_crawler.sh

STEP 3

Execute the following script within your CLI making sure to replace http://example.com with the URL of the website you wish to crawl

docker run --rm -it \
    -v $(pwd):/sitecrawler \
    sitecrawler/composer:latest \
    php -d memory_limit=-1 crawl.php http://example.com

The sitemap(consisting of the visited urls, links and assets) and assetmap(just urls and assets) can be found in the sitemaps/{url_of_the_crawled_website} directory

METHOD 2 (Without Docker)

STEP 1 (only needs to be done once)

This project is built with php, hence it requires you to have php(version 5.6) installed on your machine. When installation is complete, run php --version from your CLI to verify that it is installed.

STEP 2 (only needs to be done once)

Follow the instructions here(https://getcomposer.org/download/) to download and install composer. When installation is complete, run composer --version from your CLI to verify that it is installed.

STEP 3 (only needs to be done once)

Run composer install in order to install the dependencies required by this utility. When installation is done, run composer dump-autoload

STEP 4

Use the command php -d memory_limit=-1 crawl.php http://example.com to start crawling from the supplied URL. Make sure to replace http://example.com with a URL of your choosing.

The sitemap(consisting of the visited urls, links and assets) and assetmap(just urls and assets) can be found in the sitemaps/{url_of_the_crawled_website} directory
