akita
Akita is a command line tool to crawl a website looking for broken links.
The tool is named after the Akita dog breed which are very protective of their home & owners.
.
Installation
The akita tool is written using Go. So the first step is to download and install Go and set your development environment.
Akita uses packages outside of the standard library, each of those packages need to be imported on the go environment before compiling the tool:
go get github.com/fatih/color
go get gopkg.in/fatih/set.v0
go get github.com/jackdanger/collectlinks
Download the code and put it on a folder named 'akita' inside the $GOPATH/src folder of your Go environment.
Compile the tool:
go build akita.go
Base Host Configuration
The server application follows the recomendation of the twelve-factor app regarding configuration. Store the configuration in environment variables. To set the variables use the "export" command. For instance:
sudo nano ~/.bash_profile
Add the following line to the end of the file
export AK_HOST="www.yoursite.com"
Save the file and return to the command line. Run the new configuration
source ~/.bash_profile
The variable you just set is used by the tool to determine URLs that are outside the bounds of the target website.
Run the tool
To run the tool call it as:
./akita -website="http://www.yoursite.com"
