## Usage
**1. Clone the repository**
```bash
[email protected]:filippo-fonseca/bioscraper.git
```
**2. Install all dependencies**
You must have `selenium` installed on your local machine.
**3. Change PATH to Chrome WebDriver**
Make sure you change the `PATH` variable in `main.py` to link to your chromdiver on your local machine. If you do not have it, you must install it.
*Example:*
```py
PATH = "/Users/filippofonseca/Developer/SDKs/chromedriver"
```
NOTE: In the future, the `PATH` variable will be migrated to an environment variable.
