Intro

Uzbl is a free and open source minimalistic web browser designed for simplicity and adherence to the Unix philosophy. Uzbl is early in development and should be considered alpha software. It is developed in C and released as free software under the GNU General Public License.

Uzbl follows the Unix philosophy, “Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.” As a result, Uzbl does not contain many of the features of other browsers. Uzbl has none of its own toolbars or widgets, and does not manage bookmarks, history, downloads, or cookies, leaving them to be handled by external scripts or programs. This simplistic design is considered a benefit and not a drawback, allowing for more customization.

Uzbl in the Debian package of Squeeze/Sid

On September 29, 2009 Uzbl was accepted into the Debian package, including its branch Squeeze / Sid. Uzbl To install simply run the following

# apt-get install uzbl

Now, the only drawback I found installing this way is that the package offered by Their Web page apparently is more comprehensive and has greater aggregate that is why I decided to manually install Uzbl.

Installation Step by Step to Uzbl in Debian Squeeze/Sid

# apt-get install git-core git-arch git-cvs git-daemon-run git-doc git-email git-gui git-svn gitk gitweb

Then

# apt-get install libwebkit-dev

Now, in this task, you'll get out of Root and as a normal User we are going to download from Terminal Uzbl

$ git clone git://github.com/Dieterbe/uzbl.git

Installing Uzbl

As a normal user do the following:

$ cd uzbl

Now

$ make

And now, we definitely have to install Uzbl, this time as Root User executes:

# make install-uzbl-core

Then

# make install-uzbl-browser

And finaly

# make install-uzbl-tabbed

Previous configuration before starting to use Uzbl

Before we start using Uzbl make some adjustments to do so we will copy the configuration file to our /home/ so that we can change settings without being Root

First. We should create a folder called "uzbl" in the .config that is hidden in your /home/, To do this we will create it as follows

$ cd .config

Then

$ mkdir uzbl

And finally

$ cp /usr/local/share/uzbl/examples/config/uzbl/config /home/your_user/.config/uzbl/config

Uzbl was installed successfully tongue , and your executable is in /usr/local/bin. Simply press Alt + F2 and type "uzbl-browser" to start using it.

Thanks !!!

Quite interesting. The point here is the set of vi- or emacs-like scripts.

I'll keep on reading.
