Copy the repository\r\n2. Install the dependencies from requirements.txt, use a virtualenv to avoid problems with dependencies and versions.\r\n3. Download the geckodriver from [Mozilla's Repo](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases), download the version that matches your OS.\r\n4. Place the geckodriver in your path\r\n\r\n- If Windows, grab the executable an place it in `%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps`\r\n\r\n- If Linux, move it to your `~/.local/bin` or wherever you have your path\r\n\r\n5. Start scraping by typing : `posh-to-dash.py --output=$outputfile --version=6 --temporary`\r\n\r\n- if `--output` is not provided, `posh-to-dash.py` will output \"Powershell.tgz' into the working directory\r\n- the `--version` switch support only Powershell API versions `7.0`, `7.1` (default) and `7.2` , the rest are obsolete by Microsoft.\r\n- `--temporary` specify to download the web scraping resources in a temporary folder instead of clobbering the current directory. However if the download fail, the results will be thrown out.\r\n\r\n**NOTE: The process takes 15+ minutes to run. The more versions you download increases the time.**\r\n\r\n## Add your docset to Zeal\r\n\r\nWith the Powershell.tar file, unzip it and place it in `C:\\Users\\\u003cyour-username\u003e\\AppData\\Local\\Zeal\\Zeal\\docsets`\r\n\r\n## Limitations\r\n\r\nThe powershell modules API endpoint is quite new, so it may be subject to breakage by the `docs.microsoft.com` people.\r\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flucasg%2Fpowershell-docset","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Flucasg%2Fpowershell-docset","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flucasg%2Fpowershell-docset/lists"}
