Portia is a tool that allows you to visually scrape websites without any programming knowledge required. With Portia you can annotate a web page to identify the data you wish to extract, and Portia will understand based on these annotations how to scrape data from similar pages.

The easiest way to run Portia is using Vagrant.

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/scrapinghub/portia

Then inside the Portia directory, run:

vagrant up

For more detailed instructions, and alternatives to using Vagrant, see the Installation docs.
