Set up on your machine

1. Make sure you have python and pip installed (and download Power Gadget 3.6).

python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip --version
python3 -m pip install --user virtualenv

2. Create and activate virtual environment (preferably in Git Bash).

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/Scripts/activate

OR

python3 -m venv venv
.\venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install all packages in requirements.txt with pip. If you need to use a python package, put it there.

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Download the necessary selenium webdrivers (make sure you also have "chrome", "firefox", "ie", "edge" and "opera" browsers downloaded on your machine).

python drivers/driver_downloader.py

5. Create a configurations.ini and copy the following configurations (of course replace the place holder __your_path__ with your actual paths to the downloaded drivers):

[DRIVER_PATHS]
EDGE_EXE_PATH=__your_path__\\.wdm\\drivers\\edgedriver\\win64\\98.0.1108.62\\msedgedriver.exe
OPERA_EXE_PATH=__your_path__\\.wdm\\drivers\\operadriver\\win64\\v.98.0.4758.82\\operadriver_win64\\operadriver.exe
CHROME_EXE_PATH=__your_path__\\.wdm\\drivers\\chromedriver\\win32\\98.0.4758.102\\chromedriver.exe
FIREFOX_EXE_PATH=__your_path__\\.wdm\\drivers\\geckodriver\\win64\\v0.30.0\\geckodriver.exe
IE_EXE_PATH=__your_path__\\.wdm\\drivers\\IEDriverServer\\win64\\4.0.0\\IEDriverServer.exe

6. To run the experiments run scripts:
