HowTo: Browse the Internet on Your Terminal

Hi,

This post shows you , how u can access net through terminal.. I need this to logon remote machine by putty and Download IEEE paper , which is not accessible from here..

DO the following steps:

1. Dowload W3m software.

w3m is a text-based web browser as well as a pager like `more' or `less'. With w3m you can browse web pages through a terminal emulator window (xterm, rxvt or something like that). Moreover, w3m can be used as a text formatting tool which typesets HTML into plain text.


To install w3m on your Debian system, just do this:

$ sudo apt-get install w3m


2. To browse the interwebs simply do:

$ w3m www.google.com


TIPS:
1. TAB is a useful key and so is enter
2. To go back, press ESC + Down Arrowkey
3. To search something over at Google,
  • Use the arrow keys to get over the blank space and press the ENTER key
  • Then type the search term and press the ENTER key
  • TAB over to the text equivalent of the 'Search Google' button
  • You can download stuff from the Internet by pressing ENTER on the link text (usually blue)


For Cent OS /Fedora /RedHat ==>

1.  sudo wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/w3m-0.5.1-18.el5.i386.rpm

2. sudo yum install w3m-0.5.1-18.el5.i386.rpm


3. w3m google.com

Cheers
