Use a command line-based Web browser in Linux/Raspberry Pi

This article will show you how to install three different text-based Web browsers on Raspberry Pi. Most Web browsers run a little hard on the small school, or consume a lot of resources, so an alternative solution is to use a web browser based on command line.

So far, text-based browsers have not been able to do anything that a common browser can do. If you don't mind that weird look/feel and just want to read news or blogs, don't play games or watch videos, then you can use these three browsers (note that this is taken from my Ubuntu, but these programs can actually run on most Raspberry Pi operating systems ).

W3m

W3m is a text-based World Wide Web (WWW) client. It has help files in English and Japanese versions and has an option to switch between the two languages. It can only display HTML tables and frames. The current w3m version can run on Unix (Solaris, SunOS, HP-UX, Linux, FreeBSD and EWS4800 ). Run the following command to install the SDK:

Sudo apt-get install w3m

Use the following command to access the website:
