<div class="plain_line">Hi Nicolas,</div>
<div class="plain_line"> </div>
<div class="plain_line">I just tried installing it from git on openSUSE Tumbleweed. I needed to install selenium, so I ran</div>
<div class="plain_line">sudo zypper in python3-selenium</div>
<div class="plain_line"> </div>
<div class="plain_line">And that seemed to be enough to get it installed. The install.sh script ran successfully, but, when I tried to run it, I got an error: "no module named bs4"</div>
<div class="plain_line"> </div>
<div class="plain_line">I figured out that I also needed beautifulsoup installed, so I ran</div>
<div class="plain_line">sudo zypper in python3-beautifulsoup4</div>
<div class="plain_line"> </div>
<div class="plain_line">And now I seem to have a usable firelynx. I tried using facebook and haven't been able to log in; I get a message saying that I need to authenticate the login and look for a notification on my phone, but I don't get the notification on my phone. I don't know if this is related to Firelynx; I don't necessarily expect a tool like this to work for everything, although I might use it when I can. Thanks for writing it, anyway!</div>
