Back in the days, you would first download the Chrome Driver from here and extract it to your favourite location.
Create a python3 virtual environment following this.
Within the virtual environment
pip install -r requirements.txt
Edit the conf.json config file accordingly specifying the chrome bin path, e.g. by typying
which google-chrome in a UNIX shell command line, the chrome driver path, the desired queries
and so forth.
Ultimately to scrape users, you would've run
python scrape_users.py --conf conf.json
or jobs
python scrape_jobs.py --conf conf.json
