Internet in Terminal

miklo · #1 (**permalink**) 11-27-2009

Hi Guys,

Please pardon my ignorance in advance, I'm still new to Unix.

I'm trying to view websites through Terminal, on OS X Leopard. i'm expecting to see just text, and that's all I need - don't care about graphics.

I'm using ZSH.

I found a tool that will do this on Linux http://www.jikos.cz/~mikulas/links/screenshots/jpg.html

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Miklo

I suppose that lynx and links work on Leopard.

lynx is an extremely old-fashioned browser. links is a bit more intuitive -- actual menus, etc -- and has support for more "recent" things like javascript.

Found the issue - I didn't have 'make' because DevTools weren't installed. I just installed DevTools, compiled Links, and it works!

Thanks for helping!
