Hi, I’m glad you appreciate it, but node dev/server.js is meant for another purpose i.e. only helping in development.

I’ll make it clear for everybody, so if you want to claim and download your free eBook you should

• clone the repo (https or ssh) git clone https://github.com/niqdev/packtpub-crawler.git
• create a config file with your own credentials:

cd packtpub-crawler
cp config/prod_example.cfg config/prod.cfg

and at least you should change

[credential]
credential.email=PACKTPUB_EMAIL
credential.password=PACKTPUB_PASSWORD

• verify that you have installed python and all necessary libraries with pip
• download your pdf running the following command from the project root directory

python script/spider.py -c config/prod.cfg

I hope this help you!
