Docker and docker-compose

Installing A-Parser on Linux and MacOS via Docker is the recommended method. We have prepared an image that includes all the necessary dependencies and libraries for A-Parser and Headless Chrome to work.

Before installation​

You need to register the IP in your Personal Account before installation.

Docker​

You need to install Docker on your system.

Installation and startup​

Download and unzip the A-Parser distribution:

curl -O https://a-parser.com/members/onetime/ce42f308eaa577b5/aparser-linux-x64.tar.gz
tar zxf aparser-linux-x64.tar.gz
rm -f aparser-linux-x64.tar.gz
note

The download is performed via a one-time link for Linux. You need to get it in your Personal Account, under the A-Parser -> Downloads

Start A-Parser using the command:

docker run --rm --name aparser -v $(pwd)/aparser:/app -p 9091:9091 -t aparser/runtime ./aparser -foreground

The -foreground option outputs the contents of the log file directly to the terminal:
