python -V
  • pip
pip -V # or "python -m pip -V"

Installation

  1. Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/chr3st5an/tracer.git

Usage


After you installed all dependencies you are ready to run Tracer for the first time 🎉 To do so, open a terminal in the project's root folder and run the following command:

python tracer [OPTIONS] username

Where [OPTIONS] are optional flags you can pass to Tracer to modify its behavior. More about options later.


GUI


Tracer also offers a GUI in form of a webapp. You can run the webapp by executing the following command:

python tracer --web tracer

This will run the webapp on port 12345. Tracer should automatically open your browser and connect to the webapp. If not, open your browser manually and type http://127.0.0.1:12345 into the search bar and hit enter.
