# you want to be able to do browser testing, but in an automated way.  here is how!

# Step 1: create your selenium script, using https://saucelabs.github.io/sb-sauce-plugin/, Firefox, and your text editor.
# Step 2: install some npm's:

#  I was able to install selenium-standalone without sudo, using this method https://gist.github.com/gavinengel/1842179837823dc25730
lib;
npm install selenium-standalone;
selenium-standalone install;
selenium-standalone start;
# leave this running!

# I had to use sudo for phantomjs:
cd;
sudo npm install phantomjs -g;

# I was also able to install se-interpreter without sudo, using my sudoless-npm gist:
lib;
npm install se-interpreter;

# Step 3: run it!
se-interpreter /home/gavin/se-test.json --browser-browserName=phantomjs;
