3 Common Linux-based system command line Web site browsing tools (W3m/links/lynx)

Generally our common browser is based on the visual interface of the graphics and text combination of browsing interface effects, such as Firefox, Chrome, opera and so on, but sometimes toss and project needs, in the Linux environment need to see a page of text characters, we need to simply browse the page page, However, there is no need for particularly complex video and image functions.

We can use the local client to browse and then go to the school team, but the efficiency is low, or directly in the Linux server with wget similar to the download tool to local, and then to search for characters, today the old left has access to the Linux system environment for the Web browser tools, commonly used w3m, Links, lynx three tools, here incidentally finishing installation and use and interface effects, if there are projects need friends can reference and exchange.

First, w3m

The w3m text browser is based on the GPL protocol and supports tables, colors, SSL connections, and internal chain images, which are known for their fast speed. It is usually available in the default Linux general release version, and we can install it ourselves apt-get or yum if it is not installed.

1. Installation

Apt--get Install w3m (Debian system version)

Yum Install w3m (CentOS system version)

2. Use

w3m www.laobuluo.com

Second, links

The Links Browser command line is a text-mode Web browser with a NCurse interface that supports color, table rendering, and background downloading, and includes a browser with a menu interface that supports frame frames. We can browse through the external accessors for different file formats. Support for using mailto: and Telnet: Browsing through external clients.

1. Installation

Apt--get Install links (Debian system version)

Yum Install links (CentOS system version)

2. Use

Third, Lynx

Lynx is a generic browser that was originally developed by Lou Montulli, Michael Grobec and Charles Rezac, and later Doslynx author Garrettblythe joined the Lynx team. The Foteos macrides then ported Lynx to the VMS system and maintained the software for a period of time, and since 1995, Lynx was released under the GPL, which has been maintained by a group of volunteers to date.

1. Installation

Apt--get Install Lynx (Debian system version)

Yum Install Lynx (CentOS system version)

2. Use

The above is possible some projects and practical applications need to use the text of the Web browser, the general user is not available, just need to see a page of the text needs to be used in order to put it down, although it is not very comfortable to look at, but still very save resources and convenient installation.
