Google Searches Now Available Directly from Linux Command Line
A common tool for Linux users is the ability to perform Google searches from the command line. This can be especially useful for those who prefer efficiency and speed when working on their computers. However, doing so typically requires opening a web browser, which may not always be ideal.
Fortunately, there's a way around this limitation using an application called Googler. With Googler, users can issue Google searches from the command line and view the results directly within the terminal window.
To get started with Googler, users need to download the latest version of the application. This can be done by opening a terminal window and running the command `wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jarun/googler/v4.3.2/googler`.
Once the application is downloaded, it's necessary to move it to the `/usr/local/bin/` directory using the command `sudo mv googler /usr/local/bin/`. Finally, users need to give the script executable permissions by running the command `sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/googler`.
With Googler installed and ready to go, users can begin issuing Google searches from the command line. To do this, they simply need to type `googler STRING`, where `STRING` is the term or phrase they want to search for.
