Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/1346

With ArchiveBox 0.6.2, I used to initialize ArchiveBox with the following command:

SAVE_SINGLEFILE=False USE_CHROME=False USE_NODE=False USE_YOUTUBEDL=False USE_READABILITY=False USE_MERCURY=False archivebox init --setup

which used to work and disabled all what I asked to disable.

However, with ArchiveBox 0.7.2, this command tries to install Chrome and fails:

--setup really only installs 3 things: the node packages, yt-dlp/youtube-dl, and chrome.

I think you don't need to run --setup in your case, just install the dependencies manually according to the output from archivebox version + https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/wiki/Install#option-c-bare-metal-setup.

Are you reinstalling archivebox frequently or do you just need to run this occasionally?

No, actually, it was to test bug #1347

Ah then just use archivebox init, no need for --setup if you don't actually need it to install any dependencies.

I'm going to consolidate by closing this issue and tracking this as a subtask of the greater archivebox install change coming up soon: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/1348
