Hello! HTTrack is a software that allows you to use websites even when you don't have an internet connection. I wanted to prepare a document explaining how to use this software, which I frequently use on Windows, through the Linux terminal.
Step 1: Installing HTTrack
First, we need to install HTTrack. You can install the software with the following command:
sudo apt-get install httrack # Installing the program
Step 2: Enter Project Information
After HTTrack is installed, you will be asked to enter the following information:
project name : # Name of the project
Base path (return=/home/baba/websites/): # Directory where the project will be downloaded
Enter URLs (separated by commas or blank spaces) : # Address of the website you will save
Step 3: Action Selection
The following menus will appear during the process:
- Copy website
- Copy website with wizard manager
- Pull only files
- Pull a copy of all links (I'm not sure about this option as I haven't used it)
- Apply bookmark test
- Exit
I usually use the 1st option, as I haven't needed the other options. Some websites may have taken measures against HTTrack, so there's no rule that you'll be able to download every URL. It would be useful to examine the offline downloaded site by right-clicking and using "Inspect Element" menu. If you see error messages written in red color, you may need to fix them.
Step 4: My YouTube Channel
You can visit my channel for more guides and videos.
