Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/450

Describe the bug

When I archive a link, there's no readability directory:

/archive/1597758864/readability/content.html < this directory is not created, even though the ArchiveBox web UI shows the link, which then proceeds to 404 because the readability directory doesn't exist.

Steps to reproduce

Run ArchiveBox with the following env flags:

OUTPUT_DIR=/home/winteriscariot/.archivebox
CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR=/home/winteriscariot/.config/chromium/Default
CHROME_BINARY=/usr/bin/chromium
SUBMIT_ARCHIVE_DOT_ORG=False
FETCH_MEDIA=False
OUTPUT_PERMISSIONS=755
COOKIES_FILE=/home/winteriscariot/cookies.txt

Screenshots or log output

Software versions

OS: Arch Linux
ArchiveBox version: ArchiveBox v0.4.16
Python version: Python 3.8.5
Chrome version: Chromium 84.0.4147.105 Arch Linux

It looks like some methods are being skipped and I'm not sure why:

[√] [2020-08-18 14:08:01] Update of 1 pages complete (15.70 sec)
    - 0 links skipped
    - 1 links updated
    - 0 links had errors

Is there an env option I have to set in order to get the Readability output to properly fire? Or is there a prereq that I missed that I need to install?

EDIT: I'm on arch linux and installed the 'readability-cli' package, which installs /usr/bin/readable. After searching through the code I've tried the following with no luck, same results (ie, no readability link):

env SAVE_READABILITY=True READABILITY_BINARY=/usr/bin/readable archivebox add '<url>'

Try the latest version of archivebox v4.17, it adds some helptext explaining how to install SingleFile and Readability:

pip install --upgrade archivebox
npm install -g 'git+https://github.com/pirate/readability-extractor.git'
npm install -g 'git+https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile.git'

(they also work out-of-the-box in Docker)
